Worst Websites of 2008 Contenders
Apr
16
Vincent Flanders has posted some of the contenders for his famous “worst of” list for 2008. It’s quite a list so far. There are only three in the list so far, but they’re doosies.
This could almost be my next “Pet Peeve” post. I don’t understand why someone would go through all the trouble to make such a terrible website. With all the tools and information out there these days, it’s actually HARDER to make a website this bad than it is to make a decent one.
My favorite one to win this year is this one. It defies words.
And, yes, churches and religious sites have made it on the list. They have a special list for non-profits which for some reason is always the worst I’ve ever seen.
You can also look at the winners from previous years.

I have to agree here. It is probably the toughest to make a really good site, but you sure have to try pretty hard to get it that wrong. Most people tend to get results somewhere in between. And yes, Haven works left me speechless too. What were they thinking? Okay thats 4 words!

Some of the worst websites I’ve seen looks like someone threw up! Ugh! The designers appear to be regurgitating information with no thought of making a meaningful contribution to the viewer’s world. I suspect they also talk the same way. Don’t we all know someone like that?
