Examples of Bad Websites

Because areas of this website mention some new attractions 'coming in 2014', we're assuming this company is not doing business any longer.  

Their Facebook page has nothing newer than a question from 2019, where they claim to not do balloon rides in the county being asked about, although the website says they do.  So some confusion exists, which is never good for business.  Then again, even the font colors are confused on the site:

Make your loved ones' bucket list come true this holiday season!

Sometimes 'old' and 'small' are indicators of a bad website.  Sometimes a company which has an old and small website isn't even in business anymore, and has left their website hanging around out in cyberspace, clogging up the Internet.  Sometimes -- old and small still works.

Surprised?  Well, it IS the holiday season, so we're feeling generous. This old/small website still works, and may be just what this company needs.  The links still work, although we'd recommend opening them in a new window (ALWAYS). Getting an SSL would be a good idea too.  

It's the last known working FrontPage 3 site we've ever seen.  If you can find another one, let us know here.

Today's bad website means well.  The company behind it supplies envelopes to churches, presumably for you to put your tithe or donation into, then mail in or place in the collection plate.  Times have changed, those envelopes are no longer just in holders in the back of the pew in front of you, with the little pencils.  Kids could use them to draw on if bored in church.  

We believe this website could do a better job of showing how far tithing 'equipment' has come, from mailing lists to online offerings to colored envelopes.  Perhaps they could feature a donation button to collect funds to improve this website.

Quick question:  does this look like a website for a company that performs secure credit card billing services?  No?  Well shoot, it's possible that they got a lot of soccer players to shill for them.  What about the unreadable Chinese verbiage, you ask?  Oh.  Well, maybe not.

PEOPLE!  SECURE YOUR WEBSITES!  Otherwise you completely wasted any time and effort you put into having a website for your business - and also your reputation.  

Submit any bad websites you find here.

Today's bad website shows just what you can expect when hiring a cheap offshore developer to make your company's website.

Right there - in the front and center banner of the website, a glaring (and comical) misspelling.  What should supposedly be there is 'discrete', meaning individually separate and distinct.  What is there instead is 'discreate', which means "to reduce to chaos: annihilate".

So if that's what you want for your manufacturing, go right ahead.
