10 Reasons Why Your Site Design Makes Me Want to Vomit

Dear Web Designer:

I’ve been meaning to tell you this for quite some time, but I didn’t want to hurt your feelings. But, the time has come to out you and your dirty ways. Generally, I can take some level of bad design. I understand you use a PC. I know that most sites on the internet, especially those created by corporations, look like they jumped out of a time machine. And yes, it’s tolerable that your site is fatter than Kirstie Alley off of weight watchers. But the designs YOU make are so bad I want to vomit. Therefore, I created you a list of ways to save my stomach and your shoes. Web designer, take notes!

1. The Design is a Cluster#@$*!

2. Ugly Shapes Are Used as Design Elements

3. Your Site Fails to Work in Every Modern Browser

4. I Get Bombarded by Nickelback When I Click Your Link

5. Your Dropdown Menu Disappears Every Time My Mouse Gets Anywhere Near the Link I Want to Click On

6. You Made Your Site in FrontPage. Or Dreamweaver.

7. Your Captcha is Hilariously Unreadable

8. You Use Navigation Tabs for Sections Instead of Views

9. The Entire Site is One Big Image Sliced Apart Via Photoshop or Fireworks

10. I Can’t Use the Site On My iPhone Because There’s a Big AJAXy Box I Can’t Close
