Welcome to 1995. The world is just catching on to this thing called "the super information highway" - or as we now refer it - the internet...fast forward just over a decade later and we still have this (NSFW) slightly!

 

Seriously, that designer should be charged for crimes against humanity!

 

The article that I got the link from can be found here.

 

 

Its one thing to be a bad designer, but when your design makes it on that site, you really should consider the dole.

There is something I like in there...

...what was it? One of your sites? haha (j/k of course!)

i laugh so hard when i read the full articles mention tht it has a "mad blue background"

should be charged for crimes against humanity!

n that too!

This website is not from 2011... found this on the source:

One website I keep visiting for a chuckle is one I found for a local fabric shop.

Seriously, this thing looks like it was ripped right out of the ninties. It's got it all. Garish colour scheme, horrible frames, animated gifs, bold text hyperlinks. It's a massive eyesore.

I love this one http://www.joaovideirasantosartes.web.pt/

I had to design a "bad" website like the first one for a presentation thing a few years ago, I found it surprisingly hard to do!

Yea, maybe I'm being a typical guy, but I actually like the first website

I was not prepared for the amount of yellow on that page it almost blinded me for a few minutes.

Just found this shining example: http://www.kswproductions.com

Some brilliant "how not to design a website" examples in this thread.

 

Maybe we should change the thread title?

Just look at almost any French website. Here is a typical "modern" example (turn your sound down).

And a typical government website: facilfamilles that we're actually supposed to use.

 

Then again, its sort of the reason I got into web design.

The first example; I can appreciate those kinds of sites and interactive campaign sites work for their purpose when they are done right. I think that one hasn't been done right though.

 

There are some horrors in there though >.<

I like looking at those sites and am happy they're still around. Shows how much things have progressed...

 

I also for some strange reason find them extremely cosy :tv (2):

my first site i made had starfield background (a huge .bmp file) , flaming text (thanks to a java applet), scrolling text using the <marquee> tag and sound (a .wav file playing in the background) and was a big old frameset.

Here's a nice one I found recently created by an artist http://www.artiesart.org.uk/

Thats a shame, with a little polishing (getting rid of the frameset for one) this could be quite nice. I like the cyberpunky image on the left.

Mods can we have a title change pls. Something like "How not to design a website" or "website wall of shame" or something.

 

Thanks <3

wow this thread is like a prospective gold mine for a freelancer - quick call these people up and offer to design them a new website, and if they ask why, "well mr customer you website has made it onto a worst websites forum page!" on a personal note I think the yellow background website broke my monitor and detahced my retinas.

 

Yak out!

That yellow one is incredible.

 

Tell you what I haven't seen for a long time. A frameset with scrollbars on each frame.

I might have to make one just to see if I can get on the list!

I felt a bit funny about posting this at first but I've just got to share it with you.

 

Not just a site but a website design company?

Only just spotted this.

Now changed.

I literally would not know how to make a website like one of these examples.

 

I've all but forgotten how to use tables for anything other than displaying tabular data, and those gifs look advanced :/

Still being able to do it and still having to do it are different things haha

Ladies and gentle man have trimmed and pruned and shaped and shaved all body hair area for ages,

but this is where the naturist comes into his/ her own. Once you start to shave it seems you can't stop!

 

be careful, before you know where you are you may have turned into a smoothie!

 

Hahaha. Oh dear.
