Submitter’s comments: I didn’t know these sites still existed…
Vincent Flanders’ comments: You can always find sites like this at the sucky end of the street. Small text, lack of contrast, an image that’s over 100K that’s crammed down into a 95 x 86 JPG, a home page entitled “Untitled Document,” animated GIFs whose use make no sense, and plenty of other mistakes.
I dare you to click “Click Here.” It’s not as bad as WebPagesThatSuck’s Click Here, but it leads to boxed text where somebody has forgotten the meaning of the word “paragraph.”

Gee, you would think that companies who specialize in making other websites better would be paragons of good web design techniques. You would think they would follow their own guidelines. Some do and some don’t.
Shouldn’t Web Optimization Companies Own Sites Be Optimized?
Gee. That’s pretty logical, right? Being the clever little boy that I am, I just had to run three popular optimization-type tests on some companies that provide page/site optimization services. What do the results mean? Heck if I know. I just gather information, I leave interpretations up to others.

Submitter’s comments: A bad website.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Succinct.
Just another poorly constructed restaurant site. I’m especially fond of the fact that the first menu item on the left is blocked. Not all the graphics are links. Some are and some aren’t, which is very confusing.

Submitter’s comments: A website belonging to a company that has an unfortunate name. Oh, the site sucks, too.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Yeah, it’s a bad name. If it were my company, I’d change the name to Assman Equipment, Inc. I know it’s a cliche, but here I go anyway, “Hey, 1995 called and they want their website back.”
I guess what’s confusing is the URL is missioncaseih.com.
Assman Implement, Inc.

Submitter’s comments: OMG
Vincent Flanders’ comments: I’m headed out to see Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit at the Tractor Tavern, so I’m putting this up a little early.
We either have a radio station with a religious bent or a church with a radio bent. That’s part of the problem—focus—as in “Where’s the focus?” There are multiple churches listed and some businesses that seem to be secular. Because of the URL, I’m going to guess it’s a radio station, but even that’s confusing. The URL says VERN1530, but the logo says KVDW 1530. Huh?
