10 ugliest websites in Philadelphia — voter’s choice awards

We’re not one to question the look, feel and design of online presences, but sometimes it’s fun to let other people.
So, over the past couple weeks, we sought your opinion for the ugliest websites in Philadelphia.

South-Philly.com

Our nominator says: part of an empire of bad templates from a quick hit web design firm in town, as noted by other suggestions. Visit here.

WMD Hotsauce

Our nominator told us: “Actually had a convo w owner, “You don’t like my logo? I designed it myself!”” Visit here
As suggested by Danya Henninger.

Green Jobs Philly

Go ahead, pick a call to action. Visit here.
As suggested by Stephen Zook.

Rembrandt’s restaurant

It should be noted that Rembrandt’s suggests that it had the first website of any restaurant in Philadelphia, so they’re perhaps maintaining that shtick. Visit here.
As suggested by many, including a more general pronouncement from Colin Weir.

Fishtown.us

Competing palate of pastel colors with two top and at least one left-hand side navigation bars. Visit here.
Submitted privately.

Mentortech Ventures

A serious venture capital firm shown off by what looks like a phishing site. Visit here.
As submitted privately.

Ted Silary

High school sports, Yahoo! search and Google ads. Visit here.
As submitted by Kieran Kelly, West Philly Local and others.

Eye Candy Vision

As Michaelangelo Ilagan said, it is “probably a site meant to impair your vision so that you buy some glasses.” Visit here.

NEPhillyOnline.com

Navigation. Everywhere. Visit here.

Friends of Pennypack Park

Yes, that’s a ticker message and a menorah and pixelated branding and a Myspace-stylized textured background, and it doesn’t have its own domain at all. Visit here.
The most suggestions we received? –More than two dozen calls for Philly.com but that seemed more like punchline than a fair assessment, even if we’re still competing with pop-up video. Other bigger name suggestions came for the Philadelphia Planning Commission, the City Commissioners, PennPraxis, the Philadelphia Film Festival, the Community College of Philadelphia and 6ABC, but again, those seemed to be in a different category altogether.

So, more importantly, what other awful, ugly Philadelphia websites have we missed? And what is the worst that we did find?

This is a semi-regular department we may or may not call Top Ten Tuesdays. There’s no judging in brainstorming. See others here.
