Realistically, the only way is to contact the site owner and ask them.

I cant its a government big jobby.

Then it will have been in house designers. We have our own web team, and I work in a government post.
Might as well be a couple of 10 year olds though.......they're awful....:D

Yep thats what I was gonna complain about, what an awful convoluted crap site.

He, he

I've been complaining about ours for ages, and finally they're doing a revamp. I don't see it being any better though. Outdated and stodgy programming, poor layouts, chunks of relevant and connected information randomly placed throughout the site. Honestly they'd be better off without a site, it just seems to confuse people even more.

Or give me the job;)

Im going to send you a private message with the site in question, and no Im not going to post it here if anyone asks.

It might say somewhere in the source code, click "view" on your browser and then "page source" (or just "source" if using IE) and have a look.

The company I work for always has the name of the person who wrote the code at the top of it, but that's not the same as the person who designed it!

Sounds familiar - what area you in?

you could try looking up various stuff here

it could give you some clues, (nameservers, location, etc) but if it's a gov jobby then it may not be so relevant

We've done governement work, although I don't think you'll find our company name on any of the sites. It's within the compiled code, but you won't be able to access it.
