LingsCars: The Gold Standard Of Web Design

Provided you didn't actually want info on copiers or anything...

You're not even on the right website, that website is about outsourcing departments to Xerox. Its like complaining you cant find the bread on Tesco's gardening website.

It looks like it's been built like that on purpose to get attention. Certainly works!

It certainly does. It looks like a Jackson Pollock.

And with all that clutter it isn't easy to find information or navigate.

Ermmmm because the little guys one looked funny and the big guys looked really good?

I thought that when I checked that link on my mobile earlier. However, I now realise that it takes you to a completely different (and much messier) site when you use a desktop browser.

I think the design achieves exactly what the owner is aiming for.

The Ling site just looks dodgy.

To you maybe; but who's to say those it is aimed at don't prefer a "Where's Wally" busy colourful look?

and perhaps conversely the target (chav?) customers would be intimidated by a slick minimal site.

"horses for courses"

Yes but (unless it's just me and Kojak) that Xerox site puts up an irritating popup over the top immediately on access, is seriously slow and disables the back button. Very clever, but does anyone want to sit there for 20 secs while it zooms in and out of various floors of an office building that all look the same?

At least the Ling cars things is fast and seems to work well. (On appearance, I rather like it, so that must be bad!)

No, I don't like the Xerox site either, for the same reasons. Some webtulipe designers just try to be clever for its own sake, which isn't the object of the exercise.
