The Reality Is...

...that we find them, we make fun of them, yet they still continue to exist. The age old argument can easily come into play when talking about poor design choices and awful websites. Are they awful for a reason?

Ugly can help drive more traffic than "pretty" in some cases. If you are gaining attention for your ugly website than your business might be gaining attention that otherwise you might not get. In the vast abyss of online life it is nearly impossible for users to visit every site on the planet. A business must differentiate itself and an ugly site can help to do that.

So, what came first? The chicken or the egg? The ugly site or the qualified designers that understood the site was horrible? This conversation could go on and on, but in the end we understand our purpose here. Find the bad site, share them with you, and maybe have a laugh or two along the way. And, maybe, just maybe help a company gain some online traffic.

Have a good weekend everyone! Try not to over think the whole chicken or the egg thing. :)
