Mini Assignment 3: The World's WORST Website

When the videos were shown in class, I thought there was no way on on earth that I could find worse. Well, I did.

Exhibit A

This is just one of many horrific pages on this website. It is bad for oh so many reasons. The first big thing I noticed is the lack of continuity between pages. Every background is different and several are fully animated, including the rainbow-colored, seizure-inducing monstrosity on the above link. An epileptic extravaganza if you will.

The text, from page to page as well as within pages is incredibly inconsistent. The use of animation on the pages adds nothing and seems to simply be there because they knew how to do it. Many of the font colors clash with the background as well, making them virtually unreadable.

On top of it all, the navigation menu seems to be buried at the bottom on half the pages, with some being seemingly random symbols that give me no context as to the links they contain.

Overall, I would give this website a zero on whatever scale would be used. It is completely terrible in just about every way and I wouldn't recommend it for your health.
