I think they got the same people to do their site that did the 6.5mil website for Durban, wonder how much IC paid?

wow, that sh*t is ugly. Look at the edges od the top menu...

looks like a 10year old did it in Paint

And drop down menus that are so long they almost span the length of the page

"Designed & Developed by Altech Technology Concepts" - from the bottom of the page

Oh yeah, the sourceforge site is awesome now, actally usable compared to old one. I abandoned it because of its bad site design, couldn't find anything.

themeid is neither a DataColumn nor a DataRelation for table Table.

Line 40: Dim Themeid As Integer = Integer.Parse(e.Item.DataItem("themeid"))



Well, you want bad?

Try PC Zone!

Their entire website is one scanned pricelist!

- Edit -


New Error:

Column 'Quantity' does not belong to table Table.

Line 213: subTotQuan = Dr("Quantity")

E:\www\incredible\wwwroot\Incredible.co.za\UserControls\ShoppingBasket.ascx.vb


- Edit 2 -

All better now :)

Wow, that is some terrible development there. Did they ever test the thing before making it live?! :eek: And no custom error pages? Unforgivable...

The "still under construction" bit at the top of the page makes me feel warm inside, and kinda special.

Haha... they do not even list the Incredible Site under their portfolio / websites section.

Geeeez... they must know it stinks too!

EVERY bad webdesign error can be found here. A perfect example of how NOT to do a corporate retail site, or ANY site for that matter!!!
