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

Vincent Flanders’ comments: For some reason, some Facebook friends post items from WorldTruth.TV and I’m always confused. Is this site just another The Onion? In the good old days, you could tell if this was a crazy, over-the-top website spewing its own brand of silliness. Not so easy to tell today.

This site makes one huge silly mistake. Text is centered in articles. Seriously. There have been billions of research studies showing that centered text is the hardest way to read text. Why are they centering the text? Show me a Fortune 200,000 company who uses justified text. Why not? Because people won’t take you seriously.

This is an easy mistake to correct. I hope they do. Then I’ll have to try to figure out what kind of a website I’m looking at.

WorldTruth.TV

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I’m trying to keep up with my four-year-old grandson’s interests – right now it’s dinosaurs. So I’m on my iPad looking for info and there’s a link to a video. I click the link and I’m given a page that says I need to download Flash. The problems are A. The page needs Flash capabilities to play. B. They didn’t set their site up to know when visitors were using an iOS device and didn’t have Flash. C. They didn’t make their video play on all major devices.

I tried to find the exact link to the page, but it seems to be offline. I can only hope they’re fixing the problem.
