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.

Worst Websites of 2013: The Contenders from January through June

July 28th, 2013 10:10 pm by Vincent Flanders

These links will take you to the contenders worst websites of 2013

These sites run the gamut from just a few tragic mistakes to the worst kind of Over-The-Top websites you see featured here in The Daily Sucker.

My personal favorites are the WTF?—What The Heck?—sites that make you shake your head and ask the question, “Did anybody look at this site before it went live?” The answer to that question is usually, “Doesn’t look like it.”

You need to go through the whole list because today’s rankings aren’t permanent. For example, I’m very fond of #17—Jes MaHarry—and I’m sure it will rank higher when the final list comes out later this year.

The Daily Sucker - an example of bad web design

Submitter’s comments: This horrific theater site makes my eyes bleed!

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Actually, it could have been even worse. There are no animated images. I know, after looking at the screenshot, it’s hard to believe. Most of the page consists of images. The page is only about 9% text and the rest is code. Ooops.

Wisconsin Register of Deeds Association – An Example of Bad Web Design for July 16, 2013

The Daily Sucker - an example of bad web design

Submitter’s comments: I’m a long time reader, but this is the first website I really came across that prompted me to submit it.

I need to try and register a fictitious name for my business which I’m putting together, and this is the site I need to traverse to do it.

The color scheme is a full-on frontal assault to the retinas and the navigation scheme seems illogical at best. Enjoy.>

Vincent Flanders’ comments:

I don’t know what menu item I clicked on the home page, but The Wisconsin Register of Deeds listed by County page’s color scheme is taken from the home page and I wish they had taken the color scheme from somewhere else.
