Examples of Bad Websites

Your eyes do not deceive you, this is indeed a website for a country club.  You know, one of those places where the well-to-do golf and socialize.

Then why the rudimentary website?  Surely there is enough money in the budget to hire a professional for your online image.  You could even have email addresses at your domain, instead of icloud or gmail.  Although, once you get to the Contact Us page that lists those email addresses, the nav options no longer work.

There's a photo of each hole's approach, with only your browser's back button to help you out of the picture you're viewing.  The site also features a quaint Mapquest image in case you need directions.   Sheesh.

There's something supremely annoying about a website that has navigation options that jump around, change or even disappear depending upon which page you are on.  That's the case with today's bad website.

At first we were bothered by the cookie acceptance popup on every page, but after quieting that bugger down, the site just doesn't feel right.  Users can get into a rabbit hole with no nav back to the home page other than literally using the back arrow.  

Commendably, the website does have responsive design.

We usually link to the home page of bad websites, but today's example shows the About page.  Why?  Take a look.  Whoever developed (and approved) this full-blown SEO cheat should be embarrassed.

The About page has a shameless listing of search terms, designed so the site can rank higher when any of those phrases are used to search Google.  "Metal Stamping Near Me"?  It's there on the page.  "What Is Precision Metal Stamping?"  Also there.  

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX search terms on the About page.  For shame!

Have you ever gone to a website, and after a few moments wondered if the thing hadn't loaded yet?  That's what happened here, because - where's the content?

Presumably, this is the website for a sign company.  Utterly bereft of signs, it waits here for someone to notice it, kind of like...a SIGN.  However, the very odd text that IS on the site doesn't help to sell anything.  Example:  "As a resuls TraffTech has put its years of expierence together to come up with a software package that is easy to use with maximim productivity from the individual that is new to computerized sign making or the seasoned veteran."

Enjoy.

Not much here, is there?  Featuring a lot of broken links, this bad website should be a lot more professional if it is meant to give an impression of what one can expect from their anesthesiologist.

You can decide for yourselves if the level of professionalism warrants using one of the members for a life-and-death situation.

We don't know about you, but when we see "HIPPA", it's cringe.  People - it's HIPAA.  The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.   It has nothing to do with hippos.  You'd think a company "in the business" would know that.
