For some software the term "bloatware" was coined, which had to many features which do not add any useful functionalites, but made working with the software overly complicated.

Do we have a similiar term for overdesigned websites which makes reading them feel like doing hard work?

I'm generally not against this particular sort of design, mainly because it doesn't pretend to be a "normal" webpage. It's a very specific sort of guided presentation.

I'm in general not against it (as I use reader mode) but given the fact that people died in this crash and that this is an official website a more simple design should have been used.
