This link is to the “World’s Worst Website,” created by a
blogger who wanted to demonstrate just how badly a website can be designed.
If want to click on the link, you can see just how annoying
and ugly it is. The wallpaper is distracting and the orange is not really that
pretty of a color for a website. Speaking of colors, there are many clashing
shades of blue, yellow, red, orange, lavender (I think), and others that just
should not go together. The gifs and thumbnail graphics are so overused and
distracting that it gives someone a headache after 30 seconds of looking over
the page. In addition to the horrible visuals, the repeating music adds another
layer of annoyance to the point where I had to mute my computer while writing
this post.
One thing that amused me about this site is that it was
created solely for the purpose of educating people about web design. It has a
great number of do-nots incorporated into it so that people who are interested
in web design have a good idea of what not to put into a website. Plus, the
site gives the viewer tips on how to improve or fix errors that have probably
been committed already.
So I suggest that if you want to get into web design, look
at sites that are designed to inform and educate you about what to do and what
not to do, like this one.
