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 comments: I really couldn’t believe the designers of The University of Alabama in Huntsville had the nerve to use this design after the same design was featured on WPTS with Brown University.

No research, obviously. To make matters worse, UAH tells you why this new design is so much better, while explaining how to use the navigation.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I spent a long, long time trying to come up with an opening sentence for this review:

If I had cojones as big as the people who borrowed Brown’s horrible web site design, I’d…
If I had as much chutzpah as the people who borrowed Brown’s horrible web site design, I’d…

I don’t know what to say other than take a look at Brown University’s web site and then take a look at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Back in 2006, I said Brown University was the year’s 10th Worst Web Site. We certainly have a Top 10 entry for 2008. If you’re going to borrow a design, at least borrow something that wasn’t featured on Web Pages That Suck.
