We need your help!
Help us bring good design to all corners of the web by pointing out the monstrosities that exist in the deep, dark recesses of the nearest business owner’s nephew’s cousin’s basement.

99% of Webmasters don’t need costly website optimization and submission services. Interestingly, 99% of “Search Engine Professionals” don’t mention this — they’re too interested in charging you for their services.
Instead, you should pay for the “great” advice provided on this site….
What exactly is attractive on this site?
http://planetfreebook.com/
Love the scrolling marquis. How 1997.
Apparently they’ve improved:
We’ve expanded and, we hope, improved Planet Free Book.
Regular visitors will be pleased to know that the revamp has NOT meant one of those all-too-common upgrades that spoil or ignore some of the site or software application’s more attractive features.
That's Gotta Hurt!

A very unfortunate CSS problem with the width of this particular page. Not very good for your image.
would you hire this marketing firm?

All the text are images - may look good but there’s no content on the page as far as search engines (or people with text browsers) are concerned.
Please tell me this isn't real...

There’s no way this is a real site. Is there?
I just felt a great disturbance in the web design force… as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced….

Not OK Design
http://www.okoffice.com.au/
Seriously? You’re relying on your website for all your business? At least let someone fix your images & logo.
Great information -- No one can read it

Try actually reading an article… without skimming.

Careful Where You Click... You May Buy Something...
http://www.arngren.net/
I’m guessing the strategy of this site is either to get as much stuff above the “fold” as possible or to get you to purchase things accidentally. Either way, it has to be one of the worst ecommerce sites I’ve ever seen.

Remember those crystal skulls from Indiana Jones 3? I think a piece broke off and got stuck in the mind of this webmaster.
But you have to admit. Their business writing probably isn’t boring if it matches this site…. maybe just creepy.
This may have been the first website in Michigan.

Do you think they’ve forgotten about the site? I wonder who is paying for the hosting… It’s like we opened a closet in your dead great-uncle’s house who kept everything he ever owned.
