It's an easy joke, but the mother of all sites needing a redo (yes, I know it was already the punchline of designer eye for the usability guy): http://www.useit.com/alertbox/weblogs.html
Look at http:www.fawny.org. Joe just listed a set of web sites that were nominated for awards that are poorly designed. This is a fun one http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=irule ted -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 9:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [WSG] Web pages needed for testing http://www.cummins.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Worthington Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 1:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WSG] Web pages needed for testing Importance: Low Can anyone suggest some poorly designed web pages for web design students to take apart? Preferably these would be from public institutions. The students at are learning web page design <http://www.tomw.net.au/2005/wd/>. So I need some badly designed web pages for them to run accessibility tests on. I don't want to pick on web pages from individuals, or those from small companies (unless someone wants to volunteer their own). But a government or large company is fair game. For testing we are using "TAW" from the Centre for the Development of Information and Communication Technologies in Asturias <http://www.tawdis.net/taw3/cms/en>. Previously I used Australian Government web pages as examples of bad design, but these seem to have had the obvious faults fixed (perhaps by my ex-students?). I ran a sample of 250 pages in TAW and only got a couple of errors. The next step is for the students to reformat one on pages to display on a mobile phone. For that I will probably use one on Bird Flu, as per my talk next month for the WSG <http://www.tomw.net.au/2005/wd/sahana3.shtml>.
