For my third Smackdown, I found an
example of a bad website. When I say bad, I mean bad. This website is so bad
that I feel as though I have to warn people that they may get dizzy, throw up,
or have a seizure. I looked at it for two minutes and came down with a
headache.
The name of the website is lingscars.com.
When you go to this site, you may be too distracted to figure out what its
purpose is, so I’ll tell you. It’s a site for leasing cars. However, even given
that information, you’re probably still distracted because the first obvious
problem with this website is its design. The colors, animations, and amount of
words on just the home page alone are completely overwhelming. Every picture
and piece of text moves or pops out at you. There is way too much stimulation.
This almost makes the website come off as fake or a scam or something that will
leave your computer with a nasty virus. You could not pay me to lease a car
from this guy. Most of the ads look sketchy. In fact, the website as a whole
looks sketchy.
The one positive note I can give
Ling is his navigation system at the top of the page, which pretty much gives
the user the information they need to find what they are looking for. However,
Ling adds in stuff that is completely irrelevant to a car leasing website. He
has a tab called “Fun Stuff,” which includes quizzes, hangman, and other stuff
that I can’t seem to figure out. This is a car website; games are not
necessary. Ling also does not provide a search
bar for users, another downfall. Besides his toolbar at the top, this site has
pretty much zero organization. There are things everywhere, and too much
information thrown at you at once.
You don’t have to be a rocket
scientist to figure out the flaws in this website. It is so bizarre and
unprofessional. Ling is not a man I would trust to lease a car from.
