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 Monday, November 30, 2009

Submitter’s comments: The web site is incredibly stale, outdated and just plain horrible.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: For just plain horrible, you need to see and Vote for the Worst Web Design Of 2009 (Group 1). You’ll get an education in horrible.

The splash home page is trendy, but it’s an ugly, sloppy trendy look. I wasn’t sure where to click, so I clicked on the guy’s face and was taken to a page promoting one of their frames called Kowalski. The page’s green background with red banner did not help enhance the look of the blue and red eye frames. Speaking of the frames, as an overweight, boring, pale white guy I need all the color I can get; however, even I think these frames are excessive. Hell, even Elton John doesn’t wear them.

I went back to the home page to poke around and discovered that the “real home page” link was the swirling circles. Yeah, everybody’s going to understand that.

The sorriest feature of the site is the site’s “find the l.a. Eyeworks provider nearest you” link. It opens up your email program but, of course, it doesn’t inform you that it’s going to open Outlook (in my case). If you can’t provide dealers based on my zip code, let me fill out an email form. Don’t open my email program.
