Here’s another website that really sucks. It’s completely unusable. Can you figure out what they sell? Or, like me, did you run away screaming first? Enter at your own risk: Crumpler USA.

(And unfortunately this site was designed by fellow Aussies, and their own site is pretty bad, too. I hate naming names, but these are classic examples of what NOT to do with your own website.

You may as well flush your business down the toilet…

    Max from Sitepoint here. Don’t forget the Havenworks site. Yeesh.

    And yes, the Sputnik boys should be ashamed. I don’t know what they’re drinking in that office, but they ought not to snort Drano along with it.

    Hi Trisha,
    Yep, you’re right. Both sites are worthless. When I visit a site, its purpose better be blatantly obvious or I’m gone to greener pastures.

    Well said, Max and Barry. Good to see you both here.

    The first site is actually pretty cute.

    @Li Zhang: Really? In what way do you think it’s cute?
