Ah, go on-- pick on the eleven-year-old chav girl’s free graffiti page.
You’re not really in the running unless you’ve developed that design sensibility into a polished product and are actively marketing it to other people, taking Judas-money to create noisy, frenetic, unnavigable and utterly content-free webpages to inflict on the innocent.
(You may feel some desire to click the “Skip Intro Movie” button to get to the actual webpage. Go ahead. I dare you.)
That reminds me of a lot of awful looking Myspace profiles out there. They look like that, but they also have music and video codes that automatically start playing when you go there. I’ll see if I can find some examples.
I came here thinking I’d be able to trawl up something worse, but you have scraped right through the bottom of the barrel, all the way down to the Earth’s core; there isn’t anything lower than this.
I was going to say that all it needed was a midi version of Numb.
I wonder if this would be the right time for a SDMB collaboration - build the ugliest website possible? Or would we be unable to match this girl’s genius?
I don’t know if we could top it. The crowning achievement of her site is the fact it appears to be for real. How could we approach this level of eyesore without loosing the “real” feeling?

I doubt she will ever see this thread, so she won’t be insulted by it. {I hope she doesn’t and in case she does, we don’t think ill of you, your carefully designed web site is just very, very hard to focus on without pain}
Besides, I don’t think we are condemning her as much as a reverse admiration for a masterpiece of Kitsch.
Hey, she’s a kid, just 14. Maybe younger when she actually built the site. You guys sound like Homer Simpson congratulating himself for outdoing elementary school kids.
Wherever it was that she learned HTML (from a book, at school, whatever) should have included stern warnings about many of the sins she’s committed there; she’s either had a poor education (in this area), or else just wasn’t paying attention, or didn’t care.
People who have piczo sites don’t learn HTML – that’s the point. It’s specifically engineered for the chav yute to establish a web presence without really trying – you just drop in the ugliest elements you can find through a web interface to make the site. This is for kids who can’t spell at a first-grade level – they’re not expected to be able to code, or have any sort of design sensibility.
Ahhh… in that case, I take it back, she’s only done exactly what could be expected of her (indeed the website pics the show on the tour of piczo.com are all rather like hers).
