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.

The Daily Sucker - an example of bad web design

Submitter’s comments: Please note my nomination. I never saw such a terrible page.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Part of me is happy that you’ve never seen such a terrible page; however, the other part of me is sad because you haven’t been perusing my site.

The screenshot above seems to show a relatively benign looking website—one that WPTS rarely shows. You have to go to the page in question and take a look. What catches your eyes first is all the animations. These jerky GIFs and movies are horribly distracting and visitors will have difficulty on focusing on what’s most important on the page. By the way, what is most important on the page?

All it takes to make the page harmless is stop the motion.
