Web Pages That Suck - learn good web design by looking at bad web design

Submitter’s comments: This is such an odd site. It’s part business, part personal and part political. On the business side, you actually have two businesses: reenactors sales and scuba sales.

I’m not from Mars but I’m still confused.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: So am I. This site looks like it was created in 1996, starting with the first two words on the site— “Welcome to.” Other charming elements from 1996 are the scrolling Javascript ticker at the bottom, the type of background image, the centered text, the Comic Sans font, blue border around graphic links, lack of links to the home page from the subpages, blocking right click on the Scuba page (on IE — it doesn’t work in Firefox or Chrome), horizontal rules, table borders, cheesy graphics (credit cards come to mind) and I don’t think purchases are handled using the https protocol.

BTW, the picture of the beautiful kids on the front is a link to a page that has nothing to do with these kids. Why?

Somebody needs to read my redesign checklists: Checklist 1 – Fatal Mistakes and Checklist 2 – Big Mistakes. The good news is the home page loads quickly. Page Speed gave is a 91 and Yslow gave it an 81.
