Bad web design sites

[francis]

I came across easZy.co.uk (http://www.easzy.co.uk/)'s website whilst researching a presentation for Tom.

It's been a while since I've seen a site offering design services quite this bad. What puzzles more is the fact that they seem to be both an "automotive refinishing industry" and a web design company at the same time. Maybe they should concentrate on one area of "expertise".

Does anyone else have any bad examples of people offering web design who really shouldn't?

Yeah, its bad. But for bad design with chutzpah my current favourite is the site James showed us yesterday: based round a hideous banner with the revenue going to the web designer. Please could I have the URL James. You never know when it might come in handy.

That actually sounds like mine, as opposed to James'. I think this is what you're after:

Here's code that powers the banner ad:

Ducksfoot being the "design" company (there's a web reference in that company name;))
