Can I just provide a link? Love the service, love the product .....the 'design' is okay but the 'user experience' is horrible. 😉

When I first began studying how to design websites I got the book Web Pages That Suck - Learn Good Design by Looking at Bad Web Design. They also have a website that collects many examples of, you guessed it, web pages that suck. www.webpagesthatsuck.com

Have fun.

Neat video about how bad typography (although I think they're using that term wrong, it's mostly bad design) can screw up award ceremonies and world politics: Bad typography has ruined more than just the Oscars - YouTube

I just ran into this one a few minutes ago. It's pretty bad user experience design requiring five security questions to manage one's Verizon Cloud storage in the browser.

I do not think this is what Starbucks had in mind.

Typo fail.

You are expected to read "vos amis", which mean "your friends" in French.

But what you see is "vos anus", which mean "your anus" in French.

😉

The complete sentence is : "Share a Coca-Cola zero with your friends/anus".

When "where" becomes"whore".

In France, we have a famous tumblr of fame that presents the best of ugly design.

Two more for the mix. I would ask; What were they thinking? But I am afraid in these instances, nobody WAS thinking.

In defense of the drowning one, the design looks like it could predate the use of 'lol'

No reason not to update it, though...

web design 1:01 = different pages on a related site should have the same navigation so people trying to use the site can find their way around
