Submitter’s comments: The Great Wall is one of the only food choices we have in Maricopa – in my quest to find their menu online, I stumbled upon this glorious site!
I was greeted by this monstrosity of a website. Please be sure to have your sound on to enjoy one of the worst looping MIDIs in the history of MIDIs.
Don’t forget to check out the Lunch SPECAILS.
P.S. Their house fried rice really IS delicious.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: It’s possible the site could induce seizures. Be careful.
I also am fond of COUPON’S (should be “Coupons”). On the “House Specials (spelled correctly) page, the prices are impossible to read. Actually, the prices on all the pages are difficult to read. Didn’t anyone look at the site when it was completed?

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I was going through 2009’s Worst Non-Profit Websites and discovered, much to my surprise, that the International Congress of Churches & Ministers’ website hadn’t changed.
Don’t skip the intro. Wait it out. It’s worth it.
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy.

Submitter’s comments: I’m really interested in Electric Vehicles, but I worry that exposure to this site may cause long term damage to my eyes.
Not only a truly hideous design, but so badly written that even if I choose to view with no style in an attempt to make it easier on my eyes, it becomes useless. Just a PITA for me, but what if you’re wanting to read their pages and are somehow disadvantaged or have a less capable browser device?
Just thought I’d share :)
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Rarely are my readers wrong. It is a truly hideous design, made worse by a lack of contrast (44.52% of the text on the home page failed W3C contrast guidelines). Where’s the focus? What’s important? Why isn’t the content categorized?
Why is there so much content?

Submitter’s comments: Mystery Meat Navigation, very little information or context about the product, use of Flash, and inaccessible design make this website suck.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Dude:/Dudette: This is a website for San Francisco-based cigarette rolling papers. It’s supposed to suck because the audience will never notice the difference. If this were a website for any other business, you would be 200% correct—so don’t use these techniques unless this is your audience. Oh, the site is probably NSFW.
Here’s an old video of a speech I gave where the site catered to the same market.

Submitter’s comments: I’ve followed your website for some time I have a few terrible links for you to review. I hope they’ll make the cut; hopefully, they don’t offend your eyes too much.
Just Jobs 4 Students Submitter’s comments: Yukky colour scheme and hidden nav. Vincent Flanders’ comments: Not sure about the navigation, but there’s too much white space and the text is too small. Of course, in this job market, who cares? Finding a job is tough.
PMIS Estate Agents Submitter’s comments: Pure vomit. Vincent Flanders’ comments: I don’t think I’ve seen blue and purple vomit, but the color scheme is atrocious.
