Seriously, don’t look.
I broke every design rule on purpose. Here’s what happened.
The Crime Scene
Comic Sans. Papyrus. Impact. All in one website.
Background that cycles through magenta, lime green, yellow, and cyan every 5 seconds.
Blinking text. Spinning buttons. A marquee tag (yes, that thing from 1999).
Auto-playing music that loops forever.
Random alert popups: “hi” … “this is terrible” … “seriously close it”
The page title keeps changing to “RUN AWAY” and “CLOSE THIS TAB” and “WHAT ARE YOU DOING.”
The Gallery of Horrors
Moldy bread. Hairless cats. Abandoned asylums. Creepy portraits. All with cranked-up saturation and tilted at weird angles.
Every image bordered in clashing neon colors because why not.
The Form
There’s a contact form. It doesn’t go anywhere.
Submit button says “SEND.” When you click it: “Form submitted. We will never respond.”
What I Learned
Good design is invisible. Bad design screams, flickers, spins, and plays music you didn’t ask for.
Every terrible choice I made showed me exactly why design rules exist.
Readability matters. Users have limits. Accessibility isn’t optional.
The Footer
“IF YOU’RE STILL HERE, REFLECT ON YOUR LIFE CHOICES”
Mission accomplished.
Congratulations, you’ve discovered a site designed to offend designers, accessibility experts, and anyone with taste.
Do not stay long, even I failed to stay long enough.
Check out this Pen I made!
