Poor website designs are what I consider ones that look like they were made in the late 1990′s or early 2000′s, poorly customized, not customized enough, looked it was pieced together overnight, and just hurts my eye. Maybe these hurt your eye’s.
I’ll do you a favor by only including the links and I want you to know that these are in no particular order. (Some might be a surprise, some others won’t)
More importantly, what you do you notice about some of these to why I do think they are poor? Hopefully you didn’t make it on the list, but if you did why did you?

UPDATE: More posts will be talking about a few of these sites at time into why I put them on this list.
I want to emphasize on the importance that even though some of these sites really need a redesign (all in my opinion) the rest have a few elements that I wish were changed and so I’ve included them on the list. Additionally, these sites either used a theme or a custom design and with each had it’s own poor quality.
Reason being is to make an impact, not to say “your website sucks!”. So, why not look at these 15 sites.
I wrote a post talking about how I can help you redesign a rough layout for your next redesign. Or you can simply contact me or leave a comment if you have a specific question to why certain ones were on the list. Please know that most of this is in my opinion.
