Web Pages That Suck - learn good web design by looking at bad web design

Submitter comments: I have a nomination for a sucky website — All Natural Botox & Proactive Alternative.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Actually, about the only thing that’s working for me physically these days is my lack of wrinkles. My wife and I were at a gathering of old friends in Vancouver over the 4th of July and the consensus was that, except for my white hair, I looked about 10 years younger than my wife. Thrilled the crud out of her to hear that. For an old fogey, I have incredibly few wrinkles, which is due to staying out of the sun and getting plenty of sleep. On the other hand, I don’t have any great stories to tell about living an excess of excess. I remember the 60′s all too well.

While I don’t need Botox, this site needs a major Webtox injection (or two or three). There’s too much text, the page was designed for a small screen and the background image repeats, text and graphics are in the wrong spot because of centering, we’ve got multiple text sizes and colors, underlined text that isn’t a link, the top of the page has a huge black box where the gray background color doesn’t show up, and the links on the left suffer from a lack of contrast. As I like to say, “If people can’t read it, they will leave it.”
