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.

the bees knees – Daily Sucker for Tuesday, February 16, 2010

February 16th, 2010 5:05 am by Vincent Flanders

Submitter’s comments: This site is guaranteed to give you a headache. The home page has a Javascript slideshow of different sized pictures that cause the footer to bounce up and down uncontrollably. You’ll notice the menu on the right has an orange border while the links are red. To top it off we have an awful bee cursor.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I know how easy it is to screw up a Javascript slideshow. I screwed up the one on the home page (here’s what the adjustable slideshow looked like on my home page). Some bright person complained and I fixed it by setting the box height to a fixed value — 300px (here’s what the revised slideshow looked like). Today’s sucker bounces more than my box did because there is more size discrepancy in their pictures.

I’ve never bee fond of right-side navigation, but that’s a personal preference.
