The Daily Sucker - Current examples of bad web design

The Daily Sucker

Sites featured in articles like Worst Websites of 2010 often are redesigned, which explains why some sites mentioned in my articles don't match their current look. The Daily Sucker features current examples of bad web design which haven't been fixed (yet).

If you see a site that you think sucks, email the URL to me. No personal pages (personal pages are supposed to reflect the individual's personality and artistic freedom) or web site designers (it would look like a conflict of interest), or others of their ilk.

If I think there's some merit to your selection, I may post it along with some commentary. If you know of a site that qualifies, let me know.

Submitter’s comments: I was reading about the City of Brooksville on your web site and it made me think of Jefferson County. It’s a very busy site.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I think this site is interesting because just a few changes would improve the site’s look by at least 75%:

  1. Get rid of the horrific, “Holy Mother of God this sucks like a black hole” background image.
  2. Replace those horrible-remind-me-of-AndyArt-in-1996 navigation buttons with text links or better looking graphics.
  3. Get rid of those horrible list-item buttons.
  4. Replace those horrible “Government & People,” “Natural Resources,” etc., buttons with text links or better looking graphics.
  5. Get rid of the scrolling text.
  6. Eliminate the Dreamweaver template code.

The home page is about 396Kb and removing the images or creating better, optimized images would cut down on bandwidth.
