Hi

I need to do a coursework report on a badly designed website.

Does anyone know of a good example of this, preferably an ecommerce website.

I'm looking for one with:

Pop Ups and Broken Back Buttons
Lots of frames
Flash Intro Screen
Horizontal Scrolling
Slow Load Time Problems
Overuse of Banner Ads
Poor Spelling
Lots of Moving Things
Plenty of Music
No Contact Information
Useless info on site
Distracting backgrounds, images...

Thanks

James

The SEO on here may destroy their own rankings. Search for any cross stitch sites in google. Everyone one I came across have been horrible.

Don't know any as bad as what you want though.

why not create one ?

Requires time and money. He's a uni student. He has none of the latter and his time is spent getting drunk.

What a silly suggestion!

Rogers Bayfest 2009 - Sarnia, Ontario
TheSarniaScene.ca
Three Anchors Restaurant - 145 Davis St., Sarnia, Ontario, Canada

a friend of mine sent me those yesterday, they are one of his classmate's doings, you can figure out what makes these bad

cheers, but do you know any shopping ones- i'm comparing to a good site (amazon.com).

And yep, designing a website would mean less time to be wasted!

I think amazon is pretty poor, to be honest, its too large and fragmented.

it does get the job done, but theres a lot of unnecessary crap, and the steps to buy something are convoluted and lame

I would help you look but it would just depress me.
Have a look out for some thread titles like "great website!" on here. They are usually sarcastic titles for a link to really bad sites with most of the above.

There was one for a site called Bob's web design I think... couldn't find it again though. It had a really horrible big gothic animated gif splash page.

Check this thread too.

Not sure about a live online example of one but maybe you can use this info:
