Hey, I thought of creating this thread were each member who has seen a really bad web design and would like to share can share it here, maybe samer you can make this thread sticky if you don't mind :)
Lets start with this, the official website of the Lebanese Ministry of Education and Higher Education, it really looks bad and it reminds me of the days of Windows 95 especially the colors. Here it is: http://www.higher-edu.gov.lb/english/ What do you think? Do you have any other bad looking websites you would like to share? :)
I checked the higher edu, it actually contains good content. Perhaps the couple or three fonts on the front page should be changed, but that's it. -On second view, the content needs to be sanitized.

But what about the colors and the table layout? We are in the 21st century and we have CSS3 and some websites still depend on table layouts :S

in that job im sure they did not need a graphic designer "tewfeer"
Most of the Lebanese ministries related websites suck big time.
lol I have to agree... you really need to check out my faculty's website, it is definitely a web design crime! here's the link: http://www.gestion1.ul.edu.lb
But to give Dr. Ali Saleh some credit, he is NOT a web designer, he's a network engineer in the first place and the website does the job very well. There's some serious database work powering up this website, and at least that's the first faculty in the Lebanese university that allows students to register online (THANKFULLY!)
It is a crime - that website is running on Microsoft Windows :-)
If you're referring to the site I posted you are absolutely right! It is running on MS Windows Server 2003 inside the university's premises. You should check it out while we're registering our courses, simply PATHETIC!
I dont know how the hell I stumble by this website, wish I didn't

Here's something I found on that website:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a hilarious mistake?
PS. It says "Deprived of Science and Technology"

As for addons, click here for what I use in the screenshot, so we don't hijack the thread.
Here is the addon list for my desktops.

You're sure it's a mistake?
Most Lebanese sites are committing design sin. I attribute it mostly to clients....Clients are bad enough when thay start asking for bull crap to be stuck on their website and when they're allowed to edit their own back content. That goes doubly so for Lebanese clients. They think they're God's gift to the design world and that everyone will want to see their Frankenstein creations.
But let's not put all the blame on the clients, there are a lot of bad 'designers' out there. I'd say probably 70% of the people out there, think they can do design because they have a pirated copy of Photoshop on their PC. A further 20% think they're designers because they own Apple products. That leaves us with a paltry 10% who know what they're doing, innovate when they design and genuinely like what they do.
But then comes along that twit of a client who demands shit like; "Oh can I have zee meenu buttens 3am byit7arako plzzz, l2ano we are a car dealership and anno siyaratna byit7arako"
This is all true...
Guys how do you find these stuff?

I use OCR often "Optical Character Recognition" to convert hard copies to soft copies this is one of its common mistakes the word is "Department of ..." however it was taken as a wrong word example:"Depirvnment" and the spelling checker found that the word deprived fits better
check our universities website:
ulfds1.ul.edu.lb
the problem is that it won't open if you write www. in the url
can anyone tell me why?!

Simply because the domain name is ul.edu.lb and a DNS A record with the name "ulfds1" is pointing to the web server. No "www" DNS A record exists and is not pointing to anything.
