i think your site has a good premise

and have no problem with it.

but ask yourself this:

Is my site safe from making it to the

list: “websites about ‘websites that suck’ …

that suck”

If you go on over to vincent flanders (wpts)

site and “carefully” examine the

criteria for determining what a website needs to

do to “suck” — even though you have possibly

endeavored to avoid commiting any errors by

excluding potentially-offensive items i.e.

design, color scheme — navigation scheme — etc,

your site – in it’s current state – qualifies

anyway

RE: google – Consider that the google logo

- 4-colors spanning a literal 3″ (or so) is less

than 1KB of info. everything else reduced to

html markup

(form follows function – Go figure)

You have a good point, and I woudnt want google to loose that. What I am saying is that it could be faster and look better, they could use a redesign.

I would agree on most of them except Google. It’s simple, it’s fast, it works. You don’t put a star-studded saddle on a racehorse.

Im in Highschool studying graphics design because it’s the only subject im allowed in. I keep getting bad grades because my teacher thinks my designs suck. But i think they are awesome. How do you know when something is a good design or not. Honestly i thought ACER looked sick and msn and Youtube because they look cool.

Google should stay the way it is. Never change it.

I do agree with you that my website is not that great itself. Even though you are the first one to tell me this. But hey, i can tell when a website sucks.

We are talking about companies who have money, I hardly get 200 visits on my portfolio, I don’t have to worry about the perfect design, these sites get millions of visits and they definitely need to take design seriously.

I have worked for larger corps and have not updated my portfolio recently , sorry my bad ;
maintaining a blog/website/job/life/university is not an easy task.

I have dealt with customers who would want me to use ridiculous colors on their logos and websites, but that is no excuse for a corporation to go with a bad website. If i owned godaddy or any of those sites, i would probably let the designers do their job.
I think they have to trust their designers and if they do trust their designers and this is what they came up with, they need new ones.

Honestly, I have a hard time taking your usability and design critiques seriously when I look at the usability and design of your own front page. (http://kumailht.com)

Not only that, but have you ever done web design for a large corporation? Let me tell you; the web designer often does not have much of a say on what goes on the site or even how it looks (sadly enough). I cannot tell you how often I have been approached by business owners, marketing, or management and told to say, add a big red button or some other awful element to a page I have created. Though I can try to come up with a compromise or provide an alternate suggestion, they are the ones paying my paycheck.

(I do agree with you on the usability of GoDaddy and Craigslist though.)

So before you knock on the web designers as the culprits, you may want to improve your own website and get some real world corporate experience so you have some actual credibility.
