Web Pages That Suck - learn good web design by looking at bad web design

Carpal Tunnel Surgery Sucks. I’ve been laid up with CT surgery this last week and I was suffering a lot of pain and numbness before the surgery. My typing skills right now are horrendous, so I’m going to limit my commentary. Limit it to zero. Just the submitter’s comments.

Daily Sucker #1: Gordon Wayne Watts Official Research Page

It’s a toned-down version of your Over-The-Top Websites. It lacks the gaudy colors and the violently moving animated GIFs that OTTWs have. Then there’s the stupid music. If the stories lined up, I wouldn’t bother suggesting it the Daily Sucker.

I came across this website after reading the reviews on Yelp. The reviews are mostly positive but the web page really sucks! The menu is a slideshow that rotates every 5 seconds. Why it rotates, I do not know and I can not read that fast. So they give you a way to stop the rotation by moving your mouse over the thumbnail. The only problem is after you stop the rotation you can only read the top half of the menu. If you move your mouse to scroll down it starts to rotate again and there isn’t a way to stop it from rotating on the bottom half of the page. Horrible design.

Here’s my suggestion for the Daily Sucker.

Essex Primary

This company is been in business since the late 1970’s selling stoves and they do print advertising all the time with this website listed as the contact. You can’t read a lot of the links and that background graphic is from 1996.
