Today, we will be looking at bad websites. The 40 worst websites on the web to be precise.

But these aren’t just regular ‘bad websites’, we’re covering popular websites with bad design. So, you’re a website designer or care about good design, cover your eyes 😉

1. Craigslist

Why it doesn’t work: So popular and so in-demand, one can only think if the overt simplicity of the site is rationally intended.

2. Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

Why it doesn’t work: While clean and light, this website is just way too far from what a multinational holding company should be.

3. Yale School of Art

Why it doesn’t work: The website looks old, distracting, hard to read, and the Elitism GIF background is just plain wrong. It leaves you wondering if you are in the right website.

5. Suzanne Collins

Why it doesn’t work: Who doesn’t love Hunger Games? You’d expect their website to look great but instead, it’s stuck in the past. Even the portrait image of the author is unclear!

What Kind of Website Do You Need?

6. Budgets Are Sexy

Why it doesn’t work: Featured in prestigious firms like NYT and Forbes, this website looks cramped, busy, and monotonous.

7. Internet Archive Wayback Machine

Why it doesn’t work: For a website that serves millions in a day, and for a website that has a strong clear purpose, this website has a backward design and has tons of links at the header.

8. Interrupt Tech Corp.

Why it doesn’t work: A good domain name, but this website design felt like it’s just there for the sheer sake of being on the internet. What’s more hilarious is the way they explain why such is such.

LANDING PAGE VS PRODUCT PAGE. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

By Violeta Maisuradze • December 26, 2021
A landing page is a standalone page designed for a specific marketing campaign. Typically, it has only one focus—to guide the visitor to take a specific action with minimal distractions. This action can be anything from signing up for an email newsletter to accessing an online course, or buying a product. Landing pages still contain focused offers, but they don’t necessarily have to be for an ecommerce product. The best landing pages out there know how to be captivating and compelling. Here are beautifully designed landing page examples doing just that. An effective landing page grips the visitor’s attention through copy and visuals. It imparts all the pertinent information about the brand’s service or product to the visitor and tells them, “Hey, you need this, you need us.” In short, the best landing pages are persuasive and poignant. They are designed to beautifully communicate a brand’s value and call to action (CTA) while also increasing conversion rates and consumer engagement.
