Top 5 worst designed websites.

Here’s my list of the worst five website on the internet today. I have resisted including many of Argyll’s less than state of the art offerings but perhaps that’s a blog for the future.

1 Winner

http://www.havenworks.com/

My brain nearly exploded when I saw this page. Sensory overload, I thought this was an exercise on what not to do on a web page. The navigation is a nightmare of the highest order. I had to put my browser to bed with an aspirin after the visit.

2 Nearly Won It

http://www.dokimos.org/ajff/

I’m guessing this site was designed by a chap on his return from the Pentecostal church.  Figure he was bitten during the weekly snake handling session and whilst hallucinating designed this offering. It could also be a very clever hypnotic effect to brainwash us all into accepting Jesus forever as stated in the heading. The high points of this site is the cat running backwards? and the best viewed with MS Internet Explorer. This site is best viewed with a pair of sunglasses and glass of the hard stuff.

3 Third

http://msy.com.au/

Okay let talk browser compatibility. I don’t which browser this site was tested in but I could not find any that would display this dogs dinner correctly. Figure the designer was clearly colour blind and this design / layout has never been fashionable! The punch line is the last line ” Best Quality + Best Prices + Best Services Costs You No More” the site tells a different story.

4 Fourth

http://www.dinghyinsurance.com/

I could not help but think “would you buy insurance from this company”. Worst graphics and colour choices possible on a single page design. No address just a phone number and their doggy low resolution company logo.

5 Fifth

http://www.fabricland.co.uk/

This could of been much higher with its flying flags and badly distorted photos. The use of frames is only diminished by the use of so many animated gif’s. This is one very bad design clearly not relying on the web for business.
