Wow! I usually do this towards december each year but this website did such a goof that I couldn't wait and think I will go ahead and declare it the worst site I have seen this year.

Let me see how discerning your eyes are: Could you tell me what makes this site so bad?

http://www.gogolaw.net/

Is this site a victim of paying someone on the cheap to do the job or the case of the lawyer being bamboozled, out of ignorance? I am going for the former.

¡Santa Maria! I wanted to give them creditos for the espanol translation pero it was disapointing (o  frustrante - to borrow their words)
- the navigation menus and the sidebar still remained in ingles.

So i must condemn the translation as well.

Wait a minute (espera un minuto) - the translation is a page-by-page translation.

If you are on any page - the landing pages are always in ingles, so you click on spanish to translate the page contents only.

Now i am viewing a 'spanish' version. But if i click on any link - it will show me the ingles version, and i will have to click on translate again. . . .

dhtml:
There is an even more glaring issue with the site. I will wait for you and others to try and identify before I chime in.

I do not want to say much about the site. I was hoping to give them at least a positive mark for the language translation,
even that has to be taken back.

My views

1, who put contact address in the title?

2, practice areas, where is the details? I can't click plus it's too close to the SO-CALLED 'request form'.

3, Request FORM? no validation, and when you click submit, NA HELL FIRE STRAIGHT.

4, Copyright info @ the bottom? is that a bill or a new way of writing it? #justwondering.

5, LINKS?, can't identify where my cursor is, a mouseover highlight would be fine for the user.

BTW, did I tell you guys that I'm still on the index page? I CASE MY REST.

- SAFE

Well, are these issues are legit but this is what I noticed:

When I load a website and the images appear to be "loading in layers", I automatically suspect that the image dimensions, as declared in the code, are less than the size of the actual image. So I noticed this with the site's header and using firefox, I right-clicked to see the dimensions (view image info). I noticed it was a background image (problem #1) but that was just a start.

Behold what I discovered to be the background image: http://www.gogolaw.net/images/index2.gif

Then note how the home page, for instance, has been coded (firefox and firebug come in real handy here)

I think this is gruesome

There's no way in the world that that's the worst website in the world. It can't beat this: universal2express.com

That is fantastico - no wonder since the image cannot translate lang - it bleeped up the language translation as well.
Now i wonder who trained such a web developer - he/she should be flogged in public!

I have learnt a new way to make banners today : this is what i call a fluid banner - with width - 100%

Everyday new things keep surfacing. It's good o

And this is on the homepage!

As bad as that universal site looks, I am afraid the (bad) use of the background image and the positioning of everything on that gogo site makes the gogo site the worst for me
