Worst Websites of 2012: September to December Contenders

I'm always, always, always amazed by the bad design that's on the web. Many of us assume it's the fault of the web designers. Sometimes, that's true—especially if the owner of the site is also doubling as the designer. However, a lot of the fault lies with the client. Here's an interesting email I received:

Imagine my chagrin when my client just sent this (horrifically overdone and overly colorful) website to me with the comment… 'Love, love, love this site. I want something JUST like it.' Heavy sigh

It may not always be the designer's fault that the following sites suck but, then again, they still suck.
