November 18, 200817 yr Hi I need to do a coursework report on a badly designed website. Does anyone know of a good example of this, preferably an ecommerce website. I'm looking for one with: * Pop Ups and Broken Back Buttons * Lots of frames * Flash Intro Screen * Horizontal Scrolling * Slow Load Time Problems * Overuse of Banner Ads * Poor Spelling * Lots of Moving Things * Plenty of Music * No Contact Information * Useless info on site * Distracting backgrounds, images... Thanks James
November 18, 200817 yr I take it you're looking for a badly designed website to show a client what not to have? Why don't you design a "badly designed website" for this exact purpose?
November 18, 200817 yr http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/ might be a good start http://www.havenworks.com/ is always a good one
November 18, 200817 yr Author Its for a coursework report to compare to a good website. I would prefer a shopping site as I will be comparing to amazon.com
November 18, 200817 yr If you want bad as in Ecommerce do a web search for the target.com case - they were sued because of almost non existant accessibility.
November 18, 200817 yr Something else you might want to consider is going through the WayBack Machine thing and look at how web sites used to be. There have been a lot of advances in recent months/years, and a lot of businesses have upgraded their web sites to follow suit, so I reckon you'd be hard pushed to find a site like that now that's still afloat and still rubbish. If you go into the archives and dig out a version of a site from before it made those upgrades (i.e. before IE7 came out and Firefox was still a geek's alternative) you might have better luck in finding something suitable.
November 18, 200817 yr Ha ha, is that for real or is it satire? Either way, that's genius. Sameer webwizz.net

November 19, 200817 yr Havenworks - 1601 validation errors, that's an alltime record, surely! And webwizz is just - ridiculous - although I'm led to believe it's a fake, as when I tried to contact them (saying You're a disgrace) the contact form broke
