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: I was researching about a medical issue that a very close and dear friend has when I clicked on a link that took me to a pharmaceutical company. I remembered that your biggest peeve is lack of contrast between the text and the background. Well, not only does this page (and site) have a lack of contrast in the text, but when you mouse over the menu items you get text that’s almost impossible to read.

I ran the page through AccessColor and it turns out that 87.46% of either the color difference or color brightness does not meet the W3C recommended standard. Oh, and to top it off, they’re using what you call “Satan’s CSS” — #666.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I can hear trophy wives throughout America saying, “Just what we need. Another ED drug.” Yes, you’re right, the contrast sucks is poor. Yes, it is my biggest complaint.
