Quest For The Ugliest Website Ever – Win A Free Lunch

In the course of my rather disparate and arbitrary online travels late this arvie, I stumbled across this gem:

http://www.icon.co.za/~bse1sa/bse9.htm

It is my submission for the ugliest website I’ve ever seen. Or at least in the last two years.

I challenge you to beat me – there’s a free lunch on the table at the restaurant of your choice (if you’re in Cape Town you might have to wait a bit). Competition closes in a week. Global submissions welcome, but I may have to substitute lunch for an Amazon.com voucher.

Happy hunting!!!

    @ Allan – nice try bugger, but I’m afraid I still pip you :P

    My reasons: they’re using an OS content management system and blackhatting – which is still reasonably smart. They even use YouTube videos. My guys used FrontPage and got stuck in ’96. Ol’ Brian has earned my respect simply for the effort he’s put into his site. But, still a class submission.

    @ Miguel – ROTFLMAO! That’s funny stuff.

    @ Jess – I’m a Christian so you must know how I cringe at that :P Absolutely shocking, but they have a Second Life presence!!! My guys think Second Life is when you go to heaven…

    Ok dudes some classy submissions. We’re going to have to have a poll or something to decide. Keep them coming and we’ll vote after a week.

    The comparison between the beauty of diving and this website is huge.

    It also manages to break almost every design rule in the book.

  18. Alan H 19 September 2007 at 12:02 pm #

    sorry, the website is: http://www.diving.co.za/

    After Jess’ submission, I’m not sure why anyone else even bothered, gets my vote for sure…!

    This has got to take the cake [http://www.margate.co.za/], not only does this sites design suck but they have developed all the sites in the area in the same manner.

    See the developers portfolio: http://www.039.co.za/slideshow/1frame.htm
