Horrible Websites!

We have been talking a bit about website design today and effective ways to lay out  and sort information. This got me thinking about some of the horrible websites that I have come across and just what it is that makes them a bit yucky to use.

I have blogged before about the Melbourne Print Museum and how great I think it is but I would love to get my hands on the website and sort it out! There are just a few too many colours and all the blue hyperlinks are a bit of an eye-sore. It can become a bit of a maze and navigation between the pages can get tricky. It would be very much improved if there was a floating menu bar on each of the pages.

When I was younger I had a little bit of an obsession with cows and used to spend a lot of time in IT class playing this game. Reflecting back to the website now, however, I can see that it was a maze of information, and some entries could really do with being sorted chronologically. This said, the world would probably be a better place if this post was buried in the internet f o r e v e r.

I am also not a big fan of the AFL website, it is way too busy and has four header bars which completely defeats their purpose. I understand that they need to meet a heap of advertiser's demands but it tends to get clogged up and it is sometimes hard to tell what is AFL content and what will take you to external sites.
