Daily Sucker - Current examples of bad web design from Web Pages That Suck - Learn good web design by looking at 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.

Submitter’s comments: Have a look at this site. What do you think of it? It’s great.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I think the site has some problems. First, there are error messages that quickly flash on the screen and disappear. The messages are:

Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/airportf/public_html/libraries/joomla/session/session.php on line 102

Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/airportf/public_html/libraries/joomla/session/session.php on line 105

Next we have raw Google Analytics code showing through the page just below the site title. You can see it in the screen capture above.

Someone was performing Quantity Assurance instead of Quality Assurance.

HempWorld – Bad Web Design Example for October 24, 2011

October 23rd, 2011 9:09 pm by Vincent Flanders

Submitter’s comments: It’s like a time machine.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Just what the world needs. A time machine that takes us back to a time when suckier web pages ruled the Internet.

You start off at the root site and if you don’t click the globe (another freakin’ globe), you’re taken to The Hempstore and if you dawdle too long, you’re taken to a page about cannabis candy. They say it’s legal, but I don’t think I’m going to try my luck—I don’t have any.

At the Hempstore there are three choices, the HempHotel, the HempFarm, and the HempStore. At least the pages look pretty much the same.

It’s another Over-the-top Website and that’s all you really need to know. One more thing. The copyright dates are 1993-2005. Interesting because the web didn’t really take off until the end of 1994.

(Aren’t you proud of me? I went until the end without one drug reference.)
