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

Site: Rev. John Giunta

Submitter’s comments: I saw this and I thought of you. Ropy contrast, image files 10 times larger than they need to be, seizure-inducing scrolling text, inconsistent backgrounds on sub-pages, badly organised link lists. And a rather scary mugshot.

I’m sure John Giunta is a very committed and talented man, but his web site…

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Speaking of images, the Crafts page is 1,471,144 bytes. We also have IE transitions, boxes around graphics links, inconsistent sub-navigation (sometimes on top; sometimes on bottom), all sorts of text discrepancies (centered, flush-left, large, small, etc.), the reading list page is broken, etc.

Oh. We also have contrast issues on the home page. AccessColor says that “Either color difference or color brightness does not meet the recommended standard for 55.62% of the total the text.”

Nice URL, though.
