Sugar & Spice is NSFW – Example of Bad Web Design for February 7, 2012

Submitter’s comments: So here’s an excellent example of a horrid website. My boyfriend took one look at it (and its autoplay music was going) and he asked, “…is this for a night club?” Nope. It’s a photographer/fashion site. And you can barely tell what kind of site it is until you get to the portfolio [...]

How and Why We Lie to Ourselves: Cognitive Dissonance

An excellent article that partially explains (to me) why people who have sucky websites don’t understand their websites suck. The key phrase is: People will interpret the same information in radically different ways to support their own views of the world. When deciding our view on a contentious point, we conveniently forget what jars with [...]

Who is Pennyjuice? – Example of Bad Web Design for February 3, 2012

Submitter’s comments: This site is a rainbow-licious flavor of suckiness. Yikes! And thanks for your service to the Internet :-) Vincent Flanders’ comments: This is an internal page for a company that makes “100% blended fruit juice concentrate that is specifically designed for childcare centers, preschools, Head Starts, etc.” Since many of those in their [...]

Wet Water Equipment Technology – Example of Bad Web Design for February 1, 2012

Submitter’s comments: Searching for a local service I came across this site. Vincent Flanders’ comments: I suspect this is a large, well-respected company who doesn’t understand that their image is being hurt—especially by their images. Like yesterday’s sucker many of the images are resized in HTML or CSS. Because someone designed the page wider than [...]

Feng Shui Interior Design – Example of Bad Web Design for January 31, 2012

Submitter’s comments: This is a site of a local woman who deals in Feng shui decorating amongst a million other things that are all listed on the same site in no particular order. I really like the “Clear (your) Clutter” advertisement on the right column of the page. I wish it worked. I thought Feng [...]

Ohio Academy of Science – Example of Bad Web Design for January 30, 2012

Submitter’s comments: The website is stuck in the 1990s and it’s terrible to navigate. Vincent Flanders’ comments: They also have links that are unmarked PDFs—lots of them. I viewed the source and counted 103 unmarked PDF links! The home page has a Google Page Speed score of 14—one of the lowest I’ve seen. It’s major [...]

Industrial Painter – Example of Bad Web Design for January 24, 2012

Submitter’s comments: First of all, FLASH!!!! It’s everywhere, the entire site is built in Flash with animations, flashing, auto playing background audio and not to mention that the intro audio file on the splash page sounds like I’m going to see Ron Jeremy appear on the screen any moment. Vincent Flanders’ comments: I don’t think [...]

Military Corruption – Example of Bad Web Design for January 23, 2012

Submitter’s comments: This is a viable candidate—it’s actually been mentioned many times in the national media. But actual content is harder to read than a circa ’05 Myspace page. Vincent Flanders’ comments: Many people have said “Military Intelligence” is an oxymoron. I don’t think anyone ever said “Military Corruption” is one. Then again, you can [...]

Video for January 17, 2012 – Drive By Truckers VIP ticket sales doesn’t work

The Drive By Truckers (DBT) are one of my favorite bands. I bought tickets for their last concert in Seattle, but I got violently ill and couldn’t make it. Back in 2010 DBT were playing in my birthplace on my birthday and I thought about flying out for the concert. It would have been cosmic [...]
