Examples of Bad Websites

When the only "news" on your website is the announcement of its launch, in April of 2004...it's time to throw in the towel.

Locations seem to only be in a whiteout snowstorm at the North Pole, because the page is utterly blank.  The About page is just an error.

There's no phone number, address, or other means of contacting this company - so it really doesn't matter what they're selling.

It's kinda pretty, isn't it?  Cheerful, even.  Just scroll up and down the landing page - but not too many times because bright neon text on a black background can do funny things to your eyes if viewed too much.

What's being sold here may be useful to hobbyists, if they can shield their eyes from the blinking ORDER buttons under each product.  Maybe it's the saucy mail carrier on the Policies page that keeps them coming back for more.

The Store page actually looks professional, one wonders why the rest of this hard-to-look-at website is so dated.

A lot of people are turned off by feet.  Even pretty, manicured feet.  This foot-centric website does NOT feature pretty feet.  Actually - we're not sure what the site's purpose is.  There's nothing to buy, nothing to do but read the content, which isn't all that interesting other than someone's trail-running blog entries that are a few years old.

If you're going to go to the trouble and expense of making a website, wouldn't it seem prudent to have that website actually make you some money?  At the very least, have it pay for itself.  There's a link to Create A Free Website at the bottom, so maybe there wasn't a cost for this one.  We hope not!

There is no 'design' present, the 'logo' is blurry and features the earth (?) and there's also no contact info.  Weird website.

Buzy Bee?  Busy Bee?  It doesn't matter, there's nothing going on with today's bad website.  Your Web Styler! is currently not functional, although we've been welcomed and told it will be re-opened 'within shortly.'  

We weren't aware that "Web Styling" was done with the can of paintbrushes pictured on the landing page, but maybe that's how they did it back in 2010, the date mentioned.  

It's an ongoing curiosity why people leave websites active and non-functional, hosting is neither eternal nor free. Which means someone's wasting money keeping this one up.

Someone walking by took a look at this website on the monitor and said "Cool!  The space shuttle, and a Corvette?  That website must be about speed!"   Alas...it is not.  But we can see why that might be your impression. 

This website is actually for a company that manufactures infrared heaters.  We're not sure how they do that out of a PO Box, as that is the only address on the website but whatever.  Maybe they are tiny infrared heaters.  Made by tiny people.

The "navigation" is awful, the content ugly, with a lot of underlined text.  Normally, an underline indicates a link to further content, but not here.  They're just underline-happy.  There's really nothing positive to say about this poorly designed old website.
