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 Friday, December 5, 2008

December 5th, 2008 1:01 am by Vincent Flanders

Submitter’s comments: Here is a website that was brought to my attention through a co-worker. The first words out of my mouth were “They really need to avoid working on their website after engaging in a round of ‘product quality testing.’”

Then as we clicked on the various links, I couldn’t help but recall your hilarious YouTube video review of Marijuana.org.

So I submit to you, under the category ‘coding under the influence,’ the website for the Aviator Brewing Company.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: The different colored, centered text reminds me of the old Marijuana.org site, which is no longer operational. I think they’re trying for the “drinking buddy” informal writing style like you see on the Brewing page and the other pages. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come off as clever but it reminds me of Dean Wormer’s comment in the movie classic Animal House: “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”
