Low Usability
This is a great example of a website with a very low level of usability:
http://www.sosbeevfbi.com/
This website is a total mess. If I wasn't referencing this site for a website, it would have only have gotten enough of my time to load the website and hit the back button. My first impression was that there would be no way on earth that I would take any information on this website seriously. It could an official government page with some sort of seriously important information. if I saw this I'd take my chances and pretend ignorance is bliss.
If the web designer wants to be taken seriously then they really need to evaluate their entire design. As it stands, this website is completely disorganized and unprofessional. This is a perfect example of how a message can be completely ignored or passed over simply because the design is not user friendly.

- There is a complete lack of consistency.
- The layout is a disaster. It completely lacks form. It looks like someone through a few a pile of cards on the floor and decided that they would design the site layout in whatever fashion the cards fell.
- There appears to be very little distinction between font color and meaning. The colors are all over the place. Yellow, blue, green, etc.
- Invisible links with unimpressive graphics. The "FBI" symbol in the bottom left corner is a prime example.
- Did you happen to notice the blatant spelling and grammar errors? Doesn't make me have a whole lot of confidence in the website or it's message. And I am only bothering to read it in the first place so I can critique it.
- Don't get me started on the navigation buttons. One look and you can understand how words escape me.
