- Today I'm gonna be reacting to crappy websites
submitted by subscribers.
Oh no!
Why did I have to press a button that says press.
Hey, my name is Christian Taylor.
I do videos about online tech.
I use WordPress and different website builders all the time.
And I thought, "You know what?
It'd be funny to change it up for a video
and just look at crappy, bad, hilarious websites."
Producer Matthew, what's the first website?
- [Mathew] All right, the first website
is called Coupons San Diego.
- Coupons San Diego, okay.
So I'm guessing it's like a Rakuten-type.
(Christian laughing)
Oh no.
Why does this look like a color palette website?
Go and choose your colors.
This has to be a default template.
Wait.
(Christian laughing)
What?
Hold on, okay.
About Us. About Us.
Let's read about Coupon San Diego.
(Christian laughing sarcastically)
- [Mathew] So, apparently it costs $240 per year
to list your coupon
on Coupons San Diego. - Oh no.
And it's broken.
The About page is broken.
I feel bad for the companies that paid their $240 a year
to be listed on this website.
Wow!
All right, let's get onto the next website.
- [Mathew] The next website is infamous
for being just awful design.
It's cluttered. It just doesn't make sense.
The background's...
Just see for yourself.
- Art.yale.edu.
Oh, no!
Okay, when this site was loading, I was like,
I kind of dig the highlight,
'cause it was a white background.
I was like...
Oh, gosh!
The number one problem here
is they had to do a background image.
Somebody was like, "Hi, yes.
I'm trying to make this website nice and fancy."
And they just had to do a background image.
If they just had a white background,
this website would look so much better already.
It could use some improvements,
but I dig the whole modern vibes.
I kind of like this highlight they got going on,
the gradients.
I get it, it's an art website.
We got some cool GIFs here.
GIF, GIF, whichever camp you land in on that one.
- It's GIF, it's pronounced GIF.
- [Mathew] So our next website is kind of like Craigslist,
but for Norway.
- Oh, okay. All right.
Norwegian Craigslist.
Arngr...
Oh my goodness!
What am I looking at?
First of all, these are some exotic products.
What are those!
Is it so bad that I'm more distracted
by the actual products on the website
than the website itself?
I see what they were going for.
It's sort of like Craigslist meets Wikipedia.
It feels like those old mailers you get as a kid
that have all the toys in the catalog.
What is this?
Can I buy this from arngren.net?
Oh my goodness.
I clicked it and I literally don't know what I'm looking at.
Is everything a hyperlink?
Everything on this page is a hyperlink to something.
This is bad.
This is truly a dumpster fire of a website.
I don't think you get much worse than this.
I don't know.
- [Mathew] So we have another website.
- I'm sorry, before we press Enter,
I am stressing out seeing www2.pnwx.com.
I already know from that, that I'm buckling in.
(dramatic music)
(Christian laughing)
I don't even know what to say.
What is this?
It's clearly a GIF.
- It's GIF.
- What's going on here?
- [Mathew] My favorite part is the crappy Photoshop job
to cut out the background of that logo.
- One-week...
Protection apron.
Okay, that's a weird product.
Click to enlarge.
No, you went to a new tab with an image, oh!
All right, all right, all right.
Next website.
- [Mathew] So this is called cloud9walkers-
- Is this a shoe website.
- [Mathew] .com.
It is not.
- What!
(Mathew laughing)
(Christian laughing)
A horse website?
Oh no. It's Comic Sans.
Oh, we're still loading.
Oh my.
Oh. You know what?
Back at it again with,
if they just kept it as a white background,
at least, at least I would be able to see the text clearly.
Oh, this is just bad.
This is...
Okay, so, we're offering horses for sale.
Click here to read about us.
Oh. Oh no.
Well, at least the images are loading faster
and there's little bit more contrast.
Why are the pages so long?
- [Mathew] The homepage is even longer.
- All right, let's go back to the homepage.
(dramatic music)
You know what?
Another thing about all these websites,
there's no clear call to action.
If I'm a customer interested in buying a horse,
which feels so weird to say...
Well, okay, I guess this is a call to action right here,
which I can read right now
until that background image loads in.
But please, Cloud 9 Walkers,
start by getting some better web hosting
and compress your images
so they don't take five years to load.
All right, onto the next site.
- [Mathew] All right, so our next website
is very much a passion project,
and it is still updated to this day.
It's called Irish Wrecks Online.
- Oh no. Okay.
Oh. All right, let's drill down into this website.
Compiled by Randal Armstrong.
Copyright is updated from 1997 originally.
Looks like it.
Oh no, that's an image file.
Oh no. It's a GIF!
- It's GIF.
- Why are we doing this?
Why do I have to press a button that says Press?
Logic?
Oh, and we have no animation.
And what is this background image?
At least we have a button that says Home,
if you can even read that.
Drop a comment down below
if you think that we should give Irish Wrecks Online
a new website.
What if the Craylor Community came together
and we just collectively made a new WordPress website
for this guy to use?
Because, Randall, Randall,
you're so passionate about this project.
I can see it, but like, this website...
So next up I'm told a subscriber has made a meme.
Is that right?
- [Mathew] Yep, you're gonna need your sound on
for this one.
- I'm ready.
(dramatic music)
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
(Christian laughing)
Who is this?
- [Subscriber] I can't hear you! Aye, aye captain!
- Oh (beep).
- [Mathew] Now, from here you're just gonna...
- Oh my goodness.
All right, all right, I gotta need this so I can...
Okay.
Created on Editor X.
So we did get a website that's nearly WIX,
although Editor X is a step up.
I'm sorry, I need to reload this page.
I need to see this again.
(Christian laughing)
I just noticed the URL.
Oh my goodness.
The URL says, craylortatervirus.
Okay, that was pretty good.
That is a crappy website.
This gets the Craylor seal of approval
for a very crappy website.
Job well done for intentionally trying to make
a crappy website.
- [Mathew] Our last website.
Don't kick me,
but the last website is one that is in desperate need of-
- Is this one of my websites?
Is this one of my website?
If you put one of my websites...
(Matthew laughing)
Producer Matthew.
(Matthew laughing)
(Christian sighing)
All right, all right, let me be objective here.
Let me be objective here.
This is a website that's decently clean.
At least we have a Sans-serif font.
Now, we do have central navigation.
I like that.
So if I click a post, I'm gonna guess,
yeah, I always still have central navigation.
Now, okay.
This guy, I don't know what this guy thinks he's doing,
but January, 2020, this is a really outdated website.
So please, whoever's behind this,
can we please get an updated website?
Yeah. I mean, what's going on here?
August, 2020.
Also, this is completely irrelevant now.
All right, you got me.
I think it is time to update this website.
