Tibbee Creek
Go ahead and rub your eyes, then look again. Nothing will have changed. This is the landing page for a web design company.
Today's bad website came about in a way we often find the unfortunate websites featured here on boogersite.com Someone submits a bad website, and when it's being evaluated, we often click on the company taking 'credit' for developing it. That's what happened here. The website that was submitted is bad, but the company who created it has a site made up entirely of a catfish, which did not do anything but make faces at us the whole time we watched it.

There's not a lot going on here, but today's bad website seems to offer a very necessary technology for flying aircraft in mountainous regions. That's a narrow audience, isn't it? Still, those particular pilots deserve some design, don't they?
We can't really tell, but the technology seems dated. The Dealer and Customer Service area is "best used with Microsoft Internet Explorer", so that may be a clue that it's time to update.
There's also an invitation to 'check out the G-Meter Android app', but the link is broken. Shrug. We're done here.

You would never know by looking at today's bad website that they sold anything beautiful. Presumably, their business is flowers. Real ones and fake ones. Now we get it, fake flowers usually look....fake. Then again, real ones are gorgeous.
So why not have your website represent what you sell? That's the idea, unless someone's flipped the logic to have the ugliest website possible. It's not secure, has a pixelated logo in the lower left corner for some reason, and uses pea green as a background color. Overall, the score = yuck.
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.

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?
