Default How To Make a Bad Local Biz Website

What would you do if you had free rein to make a truly awful website for a local business? Here's what somebody at NBC did with one as a spoof for a pizza restaurant mentioned on the show: * Pizza By Alfredo ... Scranton's 'Finest' ... You've Tried the Rest, Now Try Alfredo's for a Change *

It's so ugly and so wrong it's a case study in bad, out-dated, web design that you can learn from.

Sadly my eye doctor has a website that is a lot like this one - he's a nice guy and he designed it himself and I haven't got the heart to tell him what I think of it!

I've also seen some MySpace pages that rival this page. One of our friends has a MySpace page that is so bad that I have plans for using it if I ever teach a web design course - her page would be the "don't do this" example. Out of consideration for her I won't post the link.

Wow! I haven't seen a site like that since the late 90's.
