Bad Design?

[lpelham]

Does anyone know of any sites that list bad design examples? I am teaching a class and sometimes you can show people what to do by showing them what NOT to do

I had to do a project on something similar last week - I had to find sites that proved what was wrong with my school's site. I had three pages worth the stuff, and I have a few of the links. One of the links had examples. I haven't seen others with that, though I can gladly provide you with links to sites I've seen

Thanks for the link. The school link wasn't working though...It must have been a really bad site

haha..nice example of how not to make pages..or rather what images not to use

I know of a couple of bad sites doing quite well. Heck, one of them is even a data center www.calpop.com

Wow - that site is terrible! Wonder if they have any customers

I think a bad site is any site that does not flow well, a really nice site always flows it doesn't have bold colors its nice its light colors and doesn't use large area's of 1 color expecially if its a default color all of the default colors besides black and white should never be used in my opinion.

I think that any site that has frames is poorly designed. It is cumbersome for the user to scroll on the site.

Look under geocities or tripod lycos free webspace. Choice categories as MLM, get rich quick, etc. You will find tons of bad design examples.
