The Daily Sucker - Current examples of bad web design

The Daily Sucker

Sites featured in articles like Worst Websites of 2010 often are redesigned, which explains why some sites mentioned in my articles don't match their current look. The Daily Sucker features current examples of bad web design which haven't been fixed (yet).

If you see a site that you think sucks, email the URL to me. No personal pages (personal pages are supposed to reflect the individual's personality and artistic freedom) or web site designers (it would look like a conflict of interest), or others of their ilk.

If I think there's some merit to your selection, I may post it along with some commentary. If you know of a site that qualifies, let me know.

Puy du Fou – An Example of Bad Web Design for May 23, 2012

A bad website

Submitter’s comments: Here’s a nomination for a web page that sucks that’s a combination of awesome and awful.

1) I start out on the English language version, but when I go to the Book Now page, they are in French, not English. Is there an English version of this page?

2) On the Dates and Prices page, the text is much too small to read.

3) There are various places where it talks about Special Offers or Discounts but when I go to the page it seems to be asking for a Promotional Code.

When I go to the Dates and Prices page, the information is presented via Adobe Flash so there’s no way to zoom in.

By the way, if you go to the main page and want it in a language other than French, you have to look very, very carefully for the tiny little flags at the right of the line at the very bottom of the page

Vincent Flanders’ comments: In this mobile world, Flash websites are rapidly becoming obsolete. The submitter’s comments are spot on,so I don’t really have anything to add.
