So for this post I will offer you an example of a poor website construction. The site that I found was www.angelfire.com/super/badwebs/ and I will further explain why this site lacks unity, contrast, hierarchy and consistency.
This site is lacking in unity because nothing looks like it belongs; everything is in different colors, fonts and styles. Nothing goes together in this site.
This site does however contrast, but far overdoes this and makes everything very difficult to read.
This site lacks hierarchy because although everything contrasts and there is no unity, nothing appears to be dominant except maybe the red sidebar with the lime green writing over it. It is not laid out in order of importance.
This site is very consistent ... consistently bad. If you click on a link within the unreadable writing you go to a new page that looks completely different from the home page, but just as ugly. No templates are used to create any consistency within this web page.
So there you have it, click on the link above and enjoy the world's worst web site and see just how bad it should never be. I hope I get 100 percent for this Ms. Otanez.
