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 #1 for Wednesday, December 3, 2008

December 3rd, 2008 3:03 am by Vincent Flanders

Submitter’s comments: It’s a simple sucker. A general lack of focus on this web page is not a crime, so I ended up just staring at the news scroll … of real headlines, not company news. The last thing a developer’s website should be doing is reminding people how bad the economy is.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: It is interesting how your eye is drawn toward the scrolling news. When I first looked at the site, the news was financial — now it’s general, with one of the headlines talking about Brad Pitt and another about O. J. Simpson.

There’s only 422 bytes of actual content on this site (3.04%). No wonder it only has a PageRank of 1. I also don’t understand why the home page can also be accessed with https.

Heritage Development or the “secure” version.
