GIANT Automotive
Would you look at it? Would you just LOOK at it? It's not quite Boogersite yellow, which would make it look kind of familiar...but color is all this bad website has going for it.
For a company calling itself 'giant', the photos certainly are small, aren't they? Show us your location. SHOW us what you have available. There are only two really old and grainy pictures of inventory, and one of the staff which we'll wager is many years old.
Then again, the site says there are acres of used 1990-1999 low mileage parts, so perhaps the 'design' matches that decade...
Mystery Company
Once in a while, a company will believe they have all of their IT needs handled, thank you very much! Often, that is a true statement. Sometimes - it is not. Sometimes...you check in on that company, to find their website (which they had under control, remember?) has very much been hacked. #sorrynotsorry
Gold Force
Gold Force sounds like a super-cool division of the Avengers, doesn't it? Alas, for now it's simply a company offering 'Reliable & Efficient Virtual Assistance'.
This company's website isn't visually appealing and appears to have been 'designed' quite some time ago. We DO see a link to a Facebook page, maybe that's where the updated information is. Nope. The most recent post there is from 2017. At the time of this writing, that is seven years ago.
There aren't any Testimonials, there aren't any Resources. Why have the nav options if there's nothing there? Shrug. We'll pass, YMMV.
RLD Relocation
Today's bad website looks fine, right? Nice colors, large photo, clear contact information. So what's wrong?
NONE OF THE NAV OPTIONS WORK.
Not one of them. Not in Chrome, not in Firefox. It's hard to believe that no one has noticed this. Even harder to believe someone paid for this dysfunction!
Oneida Warehousing
Today's bad website doesn't look terrible, but when you look closer, you'll see very little content.
Firstly - a way to contact your business should be big and obvious. FAIL.
Secondly - Some content describing what you offer and how much you charge would be helpful. FAIL.
Thirdly - a working contact form on the Contact Us page, or at the bare minimum - an address and phone number, maybe an email address. FAIL, FAIL, and FAIL.
