The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker for Wednesday, June 4, 2008

June 4th, 2008 1:01 am by Vincent Flanders

Submitter comments: One of the worst sites I have ever seen…The best example of why this page sucks is the “cheeky button” feature on the top right of the page. Give it a click and see what happens…

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Wow! Clicking on the “cheeky button” is a waste of time and might be insulting to certain people.

The color scheme is terrible, but what’s worse is the contrast between the text and background sucks. Here’s what AccessColor says:

  1. Both color difference and color brightness do not meet the recommended standard for 13.41% of the total text.
  2. Either color difference or color brightness does not meet the recommended standard for 73.18% of the total the text.

Your visitors need to be able to read your text.
