The 12 Ugliest websites in the world (with screenshots)

I just blogged about the 12 ugliest websites at http://www.mad4mobilephones.com/news/755/

Let me know in this thread if you know of any uglier ones.

 

LOL. The designs are indeed too old school.
You know those scrolling marquees kind..
flashy graphics... animated gif's.
myspace is just making the trend worst!
most of the ppl there think its so cool when they have moving
objects in their myspace. and they can start calling themselves
webdesigners. sorry.. just had to rant about that.

 

Hopefully they realise its time for a re-design when they see you in their referers.

 

Even my first website looked better than this

 

Lingscars.com actually makes quite a bit of money. The design may be terrible, but it excels where it matters.

 

Maybe. I hope they don't get offended.

Some of them actually hurt my eyes when I was taking the screenshots.

It will be interesting to see where web design trends go after all the kids making myspace pages become either web designers or CEO's.

 

They were considered good at one time. Its much like the video games from the early 90's. The graphics were so simple but the playabilty was often fantastic.

 

With some of them I don't have a problem with the design so much as the strange features such as the Earthquake button on http://www.kahuna.com that just makes you wonder what the designers were thinking.

I am all for sites that sacrifice fancy design to be usable but these sites all sacrificed any trace of usability as well.

 

Did you see Lings Cars was on Dragon's Den - she makes a shed load of affiliate money from the site by the sound of it. Looks like a bag of sick though, but fair play - there's the school of thought that says ugly websites inspire confidence and get great sales.

 

I saw Ling on Dragons Den and totally agree that her site is unique and should stay that way. With a few basic tweaks she would double whatever income she has, I'm convinced of that.

 

Those were the days huh...

 

I'm trying to get this dugg, so if any of you guys are diggers.......

Last weekend digg sent me 31,000 uniques, trying to beat that with this story.

 

www.dinghyinsurance.com <<< This one just made me laugh and laugh and laugh hahaha

www.dokimos.org/ajff/ <<< This one made my stomach churn.

 

i was afraid my site will be on it. phew, u haven't yet seen my 1st site. it can beat cemaboy hands down with all the javascript effects:
random page transition
random midi music in background
falling snow
animated cursor
marquee status and title
flashy background
and some more i can't rmb. that was 6 yrs ago, phew. the page took a minute to load, and there aren't any pics. u can guess where all the loading time goes to

 

nice thread. may be you can give awards to these webmasters.

 

They don't know how to use proper alignment and color schemes! Its just a headache looking at these designs

 

You have to love the meta refresh every second. I bet they get a lot of page views per user.

 

lol thats pretty ugly

 

What are you guys talking about..the kahuna.com webmaster is a member of the "HTML Writer's Guild" and the "Microsoft Website Buider's Network"

They are tooo bosss..

 

lingscars.com -- you've got to take your hat off to ling, she has a awful site in a very difficult business (contract hire, pcp, car leasing is a very tricky business in the UK) but she seems to pull it off by creating a unique niche in the market all of her own. I wonder how long she can keep it up?
