Honorary #1 Worst Non-Profit Web Site of 2007 — Unamesa

The Unamesa web site was the Daily Sucker for November 21, 2007, and was guaranteed the #1 position — but then they fixed it.

Submitter’s comments: Here’s yet another really bad Mystery Meat Navigation page. This site disclaims the use of the graphic with this statement:

“The grid above shows a graphical index into the UnaMesa wiki where this virtual organization coordinates itself. The GO button above will take you directly to pages in the wiki. You can also do a custom search across all projects and sites associated with the UnaMesa Association.”

This is the “excuse” they give us for presenting this strange looking graphic on their entry page where users get to “learn” about the organization. Give me a break! I think it’s okay to suck for a while when you’re getting your feet wet and you want something to be usable in a hurry, but this is ridiculous.

This isn’t an issue of sucking while trying to get better, this is a regressive suck. It might have a glimmer of hope if the blocks were miniature images of some sort giving the viewer at least some clue on what the link would take them to. In this case, no such luck - in order to find out where the link takes you, the user must mouse over the block.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I love the folks who send in suggestions because they’re soooo clever. “Regressive” suck. That’s such a wonderful description.

Unless some godawful excuse for a non-profit organization pops up, it looks like we have the winner for The Worst Nonprofit Web Site of 2007. Wait a minute, I just went to the page and looked at the examples. I need to take back that last statement. What I should have said is, “We have another contender for The Worst Nonprofit Web Site of 2007.
