Worst Websites of 2010: The Final Lists

Once again, it was a good year for bad web design.

List 1: Worst Websites of 2010

The year started off slowly. In fact, when I compiled the Worst Websites of 2010: The Contenders I said "It's hard for me to believe, but it looks as if bad web design wasn't as bad in 2010 as it has been during the last 14 years."

Well, you can't keep bad web designers down for very long. As the year progressed, uglier and uglier sites started appearing and by the end of the year, our Numero Uno showed up.

List 2: Worst Websites of 2010 - User Interface / Navigation

The year 2010 was memorable for the number of bad websites whose User Interfaces sucked. There were so many, I had to create a separate grouping. Personally, I think the User Interface / Navigation examples are worse than the ones here. You can see them at:

The first three months of this year have been interesting because I've tried not to feature as many Over-The-Top Websites as before.

Gorgeous Websites From The Late 90's To Inspire You — If You Have No Taste

Recently there was an article about how popular web sites looked in the late 1990's. While it's interesting to see what Adobe or Apple looked liked back then, there isn't much you can learn from these sites. I'm also not sure how much inspiration you can get from looking at any kind of good examples. It's going to depress me and I'm going to head toward the refrigerator.

On the other hand, you can really learn from and be inspired by web sites that are featured on Web Pages That Suck — especially those from the late 90's. At the very least, you can learn to take the other direction. More importantly, you'll feel good about your design skills because nobody ever looked at the examples on Web Pages That Suck and said, "I'm a horrible designer because I can't create these kinds of web sites." When you leave this site, you'll feel good about your design skills.
