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.

RoadTrucker — The Daily Sucker for Friday, January 8, 2010

Submitter’s comments: I found a sucker.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Yes, you have and it pleases me no end when people show they understand what bad web design looks like. The obvious mistake — Where’s the Focus? There’s so much going on that I’m not sure a) where I should go b) what this company has that can solve my problems.

The menu on the left doesn’t help. The selections are:

Home
About Us
Free Games
Customer Feedback
Product Catalog
Search
Security Policy

Being a rational sort, I’m assuming these items are in the order the company thinks is important. I’m probably assuming incorrectly. The menu on the top is also confusing. It “appears” the blue menu items may be in order of importance, but “Products” is the last button. This doesn’t make sense.

Cut the clutter. Organize. As the great author A. A. Milne said, “Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.” The home page is all mixed up.
