U-G-L-Y. That’s What One Upstate Company is Looking For.

Is your website ugly? It is dated? Does it lack form, function, and any aesthetic quality? Well, you should have entered this contest, then.

Greenville web development company Engenius put out a call for the Upstate’s Worst Website and has narrowed down its finalists to three.

“Our judges found it very tough because there were truly some awful, awful entries,” said Chris Manley, managing partner at Engenius. “Now, we want the Upstate to make the final decision.”

Voters can click www.upstatesworstwebsite.com to see the three finalists and vote. The site with the most votes tallied by June 7 will win a redesign at no cost from Engenius. People can vote once per day for their favorite (or least favorite) site on the list.

Any Upstate business was eligible to apply, and a team of judges experienced in the aspects of good web design reviewed, graded, and debated the uses of clip art, dead links, hard-to-find contact pages, and “nauseating color choices.”

“There were a lot of moments when we were flabbergasted by what we saw,” Manley said. “But it also was fun because we could see the potential these companies had if they had a better website.”
