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.

Submitter’s comments: It took me about 2-3 minutes to figure out what type of business it is.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Just saying “the site is using Microsoft FrontPage Themes” is enough to explain away the ugliness. You have to admire the 3-D text — especially the word “Fiesta.” Even web sites for gaybars have more sense than to used this color scheme (I’m basing this on my Google searches).

Don’t forget the Mission Statement on the home page. Only non-profit organizations should prominently display Mission Statements. As someone so wisely put it, “Every Mission Statement can be reduced to ‘All Babies Must Eat.’

The TITLE tag for the home page is the ever-so-useful “Home.” We have at least one “Under Construction” page.

The Table of Contents page is basically useless. Most of the link names don’t tell you what you’re going to see when you click. If there’s one thing, you should have learned by now is that when you see a Click Here link, it could be NSFW — like this link — and scary and disgusting.
