Worst Web Design Ever

Official site of a children’s hospital in Japan

Hey, your “logo” is not blinking!

MSY Technology Pty. Ltd.

Are you sure product X is HOT?

Personal site of Franz Magnus

Incredible that you got several awards for that site.

Angren.net, electronic shop

Can’t you squeeze in something more on the home page?

Official site of Northbridge Police Department

Still being updated in 2006. Perhaps change your web designer?

Still being updated in 2006. Almost at the bottom of the very long site you have “Click here to ENTER” …

Have you any worse than this? Comment!

This is sad but funny I am a Engineer for MSI and I thought I had seen it all until now. Come take a look at my personal SEO Blog. Interestingly enough I just did an article on similar topic. I would like to hear your feed back.

Oh God! Do these sites help them a bit? Then why are they keeping these clumsy stuffs. I am a designer, so feel that if one can’t design then he shoud leave it as simple as that. As we all know, simplicity is the best policy always.

Wonderful! I love that they have pages looking like that, it makes me think my own page looks that much better!!

And oh! What nice colors they use, i like it when they squeese in lots of useless animated gif:s into the pages. It makes it look a lot more personal!!

and as far as finding an uglier page; I think youve found the lousiest pages on the whole Internet!!

anyway! Great post!

Absolutely hilarious list.

Gr8 color choices… Enough to drive anyone away… And a police website too!
Nice list… Hilarious….
Lim said on December 29, 2006 at 5:21 pm
Sometime bad is good! Now they gain popularity due to the bad design. Everybody want to see how ugly they are and they get traffic. Like most famous celebrities, the worst and bad news will make them even more popular.

Very sad, my site is not very bad design so I may not gain popularity.

Lol, I’ve used that MSY Technology website before. You wouldn’t know it, but they are pretty much the best online retailer for computer parts in Australia lol.

Thanks for comments.

I will add:

http://www.dinghyinsurance.com/
http://br.geocities.com/vfdesigner/
http://www.osa.sfasu.edu/upd/upd.html

They certainly qualify for the list.

I have a hard time believing that. If that is true, that is bad …
Aaron said on January 4, 2007 at 4:39 am
http://avatars.imvu.com/KrYsTaL74 is the absolute worst design on the internet. It’s got everything, from an annoying non-tiling background tiled anyway, bad music that you can’t turn off, way too much clutter, text with no background that overflows tables and can’t be read by anybody, grammar and spelling that three-year-olds could top, with caps at the beginning of every word and everything (eg “Don’t 4get 2 Turn The Other Tunes Off Below B4 U Play Nova100″ and “Spanx U 4 Taking the Time 2 Enjoy My Page *MWUAH* x0×0x”), side scrolling (almost a full screen of it), the embedded flash documents and WMVs placed haphazardly around the page… It can scar a person for life.
Jim Westergren said on January 4, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Thanks Aaron.

I will add that one as well!

Very bad sites… but I still think that a site must be useful, not good looking.

I’m going to have to nominate:
http://www.jonespartners.com/

as worst site ever.
Wait through the horrible load for the flash, then, after playing around (and finding the invisible buttons), check out the pink button of the quiz.

Maybe also the worst copy ever too.
rugs said on October 15, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Ok, ok, I thought I had encountered some pretty bad sites but these definitely take the cake!! No doubt about it. The japanese site is pretty normal, I think, for many Japanese sites that I’ve encountered. So, I didn’t think too much of it. However, I think the WORST site in this list must be Franz Magnus. Not that the others were any good at least, but I am sure his was the worst. Most of these sites, though, look like they were designed on good old frontpage back in the 90’s. I remember trying to use it and coming up with similar absolute rubbish. Never published any of it though, knowing full well that there must be better ways of doing things.
Josh said on October 23, 2007 at 9:53 pm
This is the first time I have seen a site for worst web design.

Take a look at

It has to be included in any Worst Website example.

The Japanese site puts children IN hospital with a epilepsy inducing web design!

I love the animated glowing cat eyes on the children’s hospital in Japan.
Pumped said on December 24, 2007 at 3:51 am
lol, its funny cos here in Australia msy is one of the biggest and cheapest computer parts retailers and everyone boasts about how good there prices and customer service is.

Right Said Amit.. ! Your designed sucked
thanks you
Dog Clothes said on January 11, 2008 at 12:31 am
hahaha…this is so funny! hope the list can be kept updated. thanks.
oil pet portraits said on January 11, 2008 at 11:29 am
Oh my gosh! I thought Japan is number one when it comes to technology. It looks like the web designers of these sites were late for the latest technology online. Are these sites still on? I really hope they’re already changed into something much better than these ones.

Thanks for the elevated mood
