Another jaw-droppingly bad website…

So….here’s the scenario:

You live in California & you’re in a band. This may be an unlikely scenario (for the record, it is for me. I live in the UK) but let’s run with it:

You’ve got all the accessories (guitar…check, poodle-perm…check, unfeasibly tight trousers…check) but you need somewhere to rock out. Somewhere you can make stupid amounts of noise without the authorities turning up. The logical thing to do is look for a rehearsal studio, right?

Given that so many people harbour rock-star aspirations, there are a bewildering amount of rehearsal studios to choose from in California. Rather than go & check out 50 different places, you decide to have a look at a few websites…….Only to be met with this:

http://www.145studios.com/

Oh well, at least they’ve left an email address. Any web designers reading this might want to drop them a line.

A short but sweet manifesto

So…this is where I let you know the purpose of this thing I guess.

In my day-to-day worklife, I look at websites. Hundreds of them. Some good, some bad, some ugly.

This is a place where I intend to share some of the ugly ones. Not your run-of-the-mill, “urghhh, look at that!” type sites…..No. The ones where I actually feel the need to stop what I’m doing, disrupt a colleague & say “hey, come and look at this” type of sites. Those that are so side-splittingly bad, they’ve actually transcended “bad” and just become funny.

Theoretically, a commercial website should convey exactly what you want to convey about your business. Every now and again though, you’ll come across one that makes you think you’d have to have taken a pretty sharp bump on the head to consider using that company for anything!  Then again, some of these have been so badly made, they’ve neglected to provide any contact details anyway.

So, on to an example I guess. The following site made me hurt laughing:

I think that the genius of this site is that they use the phrase “The only limit is your imagination”
