    http://www.databaseanswers.org/[^] I know yesterday we flamed a design company's website for being unusable, but at least it was 'kinda perty'. This one is probably difficult for the colorblind / impaired.

    That's bad, but I could give an example of a worse one that is actively used. I won't though, because it's an adult-oriented website (though not of the variety that teenage boys would be seeking). Sidebar: It is not easy to come up with a euphemism that is kid-sister friendly...

    I don't claim to be a know it all, for I know that I am not...

    I usually have an answer though.

      I hope this wasn't a euphemism sneaking in.

        It is defiantly functional though, I mean who is going there but developers, the info is easy to find. And it also looks to me as if it's owner is legit trying to help people and coded it himself. I really find it hard to flame him to bad.

        Indeed, reason I bookmarked it :thumbsup: Although I am not sure I want to take advice of someone who builds such ugly websites... :laugh: Nah, it is actually not THAT bad (I've seen worse) :)

        It's an OO world.

            That's not that ugly! It's definitely usable and looks quite handy. Now, this is ugly: http://yvettesbridalformal.com/

              OK, I design internal web sites, and I don't see anything wrong with databaseanswers.org, except for possibly the colors. The site is a whole lot more functional than many other professionally designed sites I've had to work with. So, when you say something is ugly, please be more specific. Maybe we could even suggest to the webmaster to fix it.

                  X| I don't think Jesus wants to be associated with that site.

                    Oh, and lest people accuse me of trying to push "The Word": yes, this happens to be a religious site. Sorry if I didn't find that relevant in my initial post.
