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: Check out this bad boy. It’s the BEST auto art web site in the WORLD, and I can’t for the life of me understand what they do.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Yeah, it also took me a while to figure out what they do. I think they make custom cars, but I might be wrong and that should be a warning sign (see #2 below). The site commits over half of the Biggest Mistakes in Web Design 1995-2015:

1. Believing people care about you and your web site.
2. A man from Mars can’t figure out what your web site is about in less than four seconds.
4. Using design elements that get in the way of your visitors.
6. Have you ever seen another web site? Really? Doesn’t look like it.
7. Navigational failure.
10. Forgetting the purpose of text.
11. Too much material on one page.
14. Misunderstanding the use of graphics

Oh, and the home page is 13.82Mb.
