I am embarrassed that DXC would put up a site that looks so tossed together, The logo and title are too pixelated and the fonts are all over the place. Yellow with the color scheme gives a feeling of generic.

Look: www.axe.at
Isn't that funny?
Comment: Axe was first...
It only has to last a month or two. This thing wasn't built to run, it was built to sell.
Thanks for info! I know there are and will be good reasons to delegate this kind of task to a good supplier. But: Have you ever heard about a roofer who let cover the roof of his own house by another roofer? Yes of course – we do not have many advertising experts but how many IT specialists for Web Applications do we have? It’s a shame.
Siegel+Gale were responsible for the DXC branding, although it would of course have had to be approved by DXC senior management. Costs for this sort of thing are never disclosed but it must run to 10's if not 100's of thousands of dollars.
Compare IBM and DXC sites side by side... which one looks more professional, has (a lot) more content and would support customer investment... the other doesn't seem to match the image of the worlds largest It services company ...
Does anybody know who the creator of this new DXC Website is? Was it really done externally? I think it’s not bad except that it absolutely does not fit my personal taste which of course does not really matter... But if so - I would ask myself if we shouldn’t out task everything we are doing in IT if we are not able to build our Homepage by our self? Yes of course WIX would be cheaper – but that’s another category – we should not compare with this. We should – no - we have to – be better than WIX. So. Who has created this? At which time – at which costs? As CEO I would bang my had on the ground if it was an external order…
If I was going to give a 50 mil. contract to a company with this simple and no wow effect website. I could get fired. they never heard of wix.com, go daddy or others?
They just wanted to save money on printing - black and white is cheaper! It's no dumber than the green rectangle of HPE.
It looks like a copy of my first personal website that I built in 1997 with beginner HTML skills..
The website is simple and limited in scope. Which seems to match the strategy for the company. Sell a few high margin things. Use HPES' client list to open the door for those sales and let the existing low margin business (and employees) exit. It's a race to remove costs (employees) ahead of the revenue drop off. Brutal stuff.
Oh my goodness, the website looks awful. My very first impression was that it looked like the No Name products that come in either black and white or black and yellow, eons ago. It does not look modern as was suggested but rather it looks drab and uninteresting. The bits of yellow here and there are jarring. I've asked a number of colleagues and friends what their impressions are and the responses are all negative. As far as the My.DXC site goes, I've had problems with most of the links. For a company that purportedly gives end to end solutions, I find this pretty poor. When did the web designers find out that we were launching April 3....on April 1? April Fools...jokes on us!
The font makes it look unprofessional and amateurish to me
@zib Agreed. Very amateurish.
Well I disagree about unprofessional. It's as simple as Black and White! Why have the colors take away from what we are trying to say. Don't need fancy a$$ colors to get a point across.
And NO I am not a DXC manager , VP , just a grunt. But the New site is easy to read with only Black and white (and now a little Yellow)
The idiots realised that using a whole lot of black n white wasn't working so they bought in yellow.
It's very unprofessional
