MSY – An Example of Bad Web Design for April 10, 2014
April 9th, 2014 10:10 pm by Vincent Flanders
Submitter’s comments: I see MSY has been previously nominated for the Daily Sucker and even received an honorary award in 2009. MSY have updated their site from early-90s out-of-date in 2009 to late-90s out-of-date now in 2014. They’re catching up! At this rate they may hit contemporary within 15-20 years.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Nicely phrased. MSY would have made the regular Worst of 2009 list except they changed it enough by the end of the year so I thought the new version didn’t qualify so I put it on the Honorary list.
This screenshot of the 2009 MSY website shows why it sucked back in the day. The “worst” design element is that the page won’t fit on a 1200px monitor so you have to horizontally scroll. The home page doesn’t do very well on Google’s PageSpeed Insights (you also get to see a screenshot of what the page looks like on an Android device).
