Premier Industrial Supply
This website doesn't look like 'industrial supplies', but that's because it was left UNSECURED at a host that didn't care.
Now it's a composite site for Dutch casinos! Assuredly not what an industrial supplier was hoping for when they had someone develop and host a website. Bad things can happen if you hire a company that doesn't know what they're doing. You could have your company's website end up on boogersite.com as a bad website.

Kohart CPA
The screengrab, at left is all there is to this website. Just a swirl of dots.
What else is there to say? If you've got nothing to say about your company, why spend money on a domain, and even a rudimentary hosting package? In this case, no website would be better than this mystery.
Someone took the time to put the image up, why not (at the bare minimum) a company name, address, and phone number?
Premium Transportation
We can't read this, can you? No one we know is a fan of beige, but when you put white text on it, it's unreadable. Never mind the inability to format text in a way that it can be read no matter what the screen size is.
Crazy, but the message seems to be promoting a new mobile app by this company. Don't you wonder if it will even be readable/usable? We're not interested enough to go find out, this abomination was enough.
Jubilee Donuts
Today's weather: 92 degrees, dangerous heat index. Today's bad website: Winter Specials. Hot Chocolate. "Pepermint" Hot Chocolate. Ironic advertising? NO. Just a never-updated website.
Even the company taking 'credit' for it is ashamed, the link to their website is broken, because they couldn't even spell their own company name in the linked url.
Most strange - a doughnut business that doesn't even feature doughnuts on its landing page.
Morgan's Foods
WOW - we should have saved this one for Halloween because today's bad website is really scary! Horrible in the worst way, you could even say it hurts your eyes.
Quite unbelievably, this website purports to be the franchisee for several prominent fast food chains in their area - the "franchisors" being KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut. Wouldn't you then be able to afford an actual working website?
