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 For Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Submitter’s comments: I thought a photographer would have at least a little sense in good design.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: NOTE: He cleaned up his site enough so that it wouldn’t make the Daily Sucker. This picture of the original site shows you why it qualified.

Once again, we have a site where it looks like the person/company provides a superior product, but their sucky web site destroys credibility.

The site looks especially bad on a wide-screen (1920 x 1200) monitor (1.8Mb), the TITLE tag for the home page is “index,” we have scrolling yellow text on a red divider bar, multiple-colored text, text that runs to the edge of the screen along with text that doesn’t, a terrible logo, and at least one image that isn’t a link (while the others in the group are links), and the only link on a subpage is to the home page.
