We're busy building a website for now for a new prototype idea.
But I haven't received any of the designs yet for the pages, so to spark some fire under my partner-in-crime, I'm going to code the css file to generate the worst looking site in the world.. so bad that he'll have sleepless nights about it and overcome his procastination.

For that, I need some help. Please help me to build a site's style that will give a designer nightmares.
I think to start off, please post the worst designed sites ever. I can just hijack some designs from there.

I actually do get nauseous looking at this.
Wow!!!

There was a guy selling IT Hardware on MyBB last year or the year before.
I've been looking for that link but one of the comments that was made was that it looks like the website was written with crayons :crylaugh:. DJ... made that comment.

Actually this version does not look that bad...if you compare it to the previous version. That one had far more burning earth icons and bouncing rainbow smilies.

I used cybersmart.co.za as an example of a truly awful website for my web systems class.

- Poor desktop optimisation
- No mobile optimisation
- Bad typography
- Nonsensical logo font not befitting of a tech company
- Poor legibility in general
- Appalling colour palette
- Footer 4 years out of date
- Redundant, cumbersome nav bar

There are many more reasons, including more technical ones. I'm just listing some obvious stuff off the top of my head after loading the page.

It's too easy to criticise websites that clearly aren't even trying to be professional.
