This website is supposed to let you buy and redeem securities directly from the Department of Treasury. Good luck navigating around the clustered links and early 2000s-era pop art graphics to get where you’re going. The site even has a “guided tour” function that’s supposed to make it clear where you’re supposed to go to sign up, but even that feels like a throwback to the pre-MySpace age when adding more clicks to pages made it easier to navigate. Also, nobody should use a lime green, blue, and orange color palette, please.
