Submitters’ comments:
It’s just a mess of text, links, and photos all about their decorated cars. Not even nicely decorated cars, rather they’re plastered with pro-smoking slogans (yes, pro-smoking…), anti-liberal rants, and religious texts. Their “old home page” linked at the top is naturally even more abysmal.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: I was too scared to click the link to the old home page. Yesterday, we had HIM Clothing the Alpha of bad web design and today we have the Omega of bad web design. I’m a BIG First Amendment proponent (with a name like Web Pages That Suck I’d have to be) so his rants don’t bother me because they’re too hard to read. He needs PARAGRAPHs!!!!!! It’s a classic example of Mistake #6 from Biggest Mistakes in Web Design 1995-2015 — “Have you ever seen another web site? Really? Doesn’t look like it.“ I call this type of design the “I haven’t taken my anti-psychotics in a while school of web design.”

Submitters’ comments: This site for some reason adopts the confusing scrolling and awful HTML5 seen in you worst of 2013’s website 1927 Events. The photos are great quality but the site navigation is nothing short of abysmal.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: I just love the fact that there’s no logo. On a portrait monitor, the navigation ends up at the bottom of the screen. Navigation at the top. There’s plenty of room and you won’t mess up our pensive Pretty Boy Floyd’s hair. This is the 2014 stereotypical website.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: OK. We have our #1 Contender for Worst Website of 2014. It pains me deeply because I majored in Classics at Wabash College and to see what they’ve done here is sad.
Some of the issues are:
- Mystery Meat Navigation
- Flash – doesn’t work on mobile.
- Justified text on the home page

Vincent Flanders’ comments: One of the biggest—if not the biggest mistake—in mobile web design is your site/app doesn’t fit in the device window. The above screenshot was taken on an iPad Air while it was in landscape mode. The message displayed on the right side of the screen is, “Please Rotate Your Device to Landscape Mode,” which you can see more clearly on this screenshot. This is the 2014 equivalent of saying, “You must download Internet Explorer to view this site.”
It’s bad enough when you screw up your images and mess up the content, but the following example is even worse:
Screw up the content, but not the ads!!!!!

It’s just a crazy looking website. Their “old home page” linked at the top is naturally even more abysmal.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Well, I’m glad the old home page is “even more abysmal” than the new one we’re looking at. It would be very, very depressing it it looked better.
The site is another classic example of Mistake #6 from Biggest Mistakes in Web Design 1995-2015 — “Have you ever seen another web site? Really? Doesn’t look like it.“ I call this type of design the “I haven’t taken my anti-psychotics in a while school of web design.”
Doesn’t anybody ever look at other websites out there?
