She said, “I have a design background. I have a degree”.

Well, a degree in engineering doesn’t make you Einstein. And a degree in graphic design, doesn’t make you a good designer. But, you can’t quite say that to a customer, can ya?

To the Reader: I bet you want the link. In due time. In […]

This is a tough one to tear apart. I have a soft spot in my heart for Leitrims and the people there. I spent many a college night in this local watering hole, and many of the current regulars hang out on another site that I run. When I heard that they were “revamping” the […]

I wanted to write a whole post on websites for entertainment establishments, but there were so many, that I was getting carpel tunnel syndrome just pasting the url’s into notepad for further bashing. Once I rest my digits for a good month, I will write another post. That one should be somewhere between War In […]

Ok, so we haven’t posted for a while. Quite clearly, we suck. Yes, we fucking suck. That’s all there is to it. That, and we don’t have time to find any sites that suck these days, you know, because of all the clients and whatnot. So, we’ve added a […]

Ooohhhh… 5 vacuums. Yes, finally a site deserving of the vaunted 5 sucks. Albertus Magnus College, the not-so-well-known Hartford and New Haven CT institute of higher learning has apparently not learned that prospective students look to the web for information. And make buying decisions based on that information… and design.

Yes, ol’ AMC, […]

Do you believe that a newspaper site would move last week’s column to a different page in an archive? And then publish this weeks column to the same page url as last week’s? Well, Worcester Magazine does just that. You can link to this article this week. And next week, they’ll be kind […]

If there is room in the bad design hall of fame for a CoffeeCup HTML Editor wing, I would like to suggest that it be built. Maybe wedge it in somewhere between the NetscapeComposer fountain and the FrontPage interactive museum with talking tour. I think it’s time.

I can’t say that it is all CoffeeCup’s fault […]

Ok, Half Moon Bay real estate website is really bad. Not only are the color choices suspect (red, green, gold, purple on a black background?), the use of photos out of control, and the absurd over use of javascript effects, but someone actually wrote this.

That’s right, this is not FrontPage. Believe it or […]

Who is Roger Eschbacher you ask? Maybe the name “Mr. Wendy’s” will sound a bit more familiar. As if the horrid commercial campaign for the fast food chain with the square burgers wasn’t quite enough to make you want to put Roger in a chokehold, his site should push you over the edge. The aptly […]

Oh, the irony. Yes, while looking through my site today and wondering why no one was posting despite growing traffic, I realized what I had done (I’m looking at you Kubrick!). Yes, as my first installation of Wordpress 1.5, I made a new theme based on the Kubrick design. In my haste […]

Ad Wizards is a five vacuum site, because, if real, it is one of the worst group of site designers I have EVER seen. I first came into contact with them during my current contract gig when I was rebuilding a form they had created, as it was one of the clumsiest things I […]
