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.

Daily Sucker #3 for Monday, November 23, 2008

Submitter’s comments: This thing is horrible — and they PAID for it!!!

Vincent Flanders’ comments: You have to love the way text is arranged on the Office Hours page and the fact there’s no link to the home page. Yes, it’s “under construction,” but still. The image of the spinal cord on the left freaks me out because it looks like a poisonous snake is going up and down the spine. There’s no reason for the animated spine on the right side and I don’t have to tell you (but I have to tell them) that cube in the middle sucks worse than a $20 vacuum cleaner.

Frames suck, but they suck even more when the links open in a new window (the few I tried). If you’re going to open new windows, you don’t need frames. The background in the left frame is ugly as are the buttons. There’s a delicious irony that the h2h page — yes, that’s the “helpful” title — has a GooglePageRank of 3, but the Home Page has a page rank of 0.

The list of mistakes goes on and on. Nuke it and start over.
