Many of them first saw the light when the Internet was still in its infancy - and the technology known as 'good taste' seemed to be in short supply.
A website has pulled together some of the ugliest web pages on Earth - and they're all still going strong, despite having been designed in the 'good old days'.
Websitesfromhell.com harks back to the nightmarish days when capital letters and fluorescent letters ruled cyber space - often without a picture in sight.
CandyRomeo bills itself as the first 'dog matrimonial' site in India - t o a background of awful Indian rock music, its creators have arranged a garish visual assault of dog photos, animated pooches and neon colours
Another website featured on websitesfromhell.com is hosanna1.com which proports to be links to ¿the most beautiful pages on the web¿
Would you buy a used cat from this woman? Bengal Kittens is certainly colourful
'Do you need a website built?' offers this site hopefully. Many internet users might refuse, having taken a look at the colour scheme
Hi-tech or low-spec? This is not a Star Trek fan site - in fact, it's the website of an Ontario web design agency
The 'bare bones' approach: It's safe to say that LM sports haven't gone overboard on design features
This French e-learning site looks like it could benefit from a couple of 'e-lessons' itself
The design of this Brazilian web portal is rather less elegant than some modern sites
Websitesfromhell.com invites submissions from all over the world only with one condition - that the selection be truly dire.
The site says: ‘You can submit your own website, a website of your ex-client or the page of the rest home from your grandma who slaps you every time you visit her. The only requirement is: the website should be ugly!
‘There is a heavy use of gif images, more frames than you can count, java applets used as navigations, rainbow backgrounds and so on? Yes, that would be a great candidate for hell! Use the submit form! Now!’
The 423 websites include candyromeo.com, which bills itself as the first dog matrimonial website in India.
To a background of awful Indian rock music, its creators have arranged a garish visual assault of dog photos, animated pooches and neon colours.
At the bottom of the homepage are two more pictures of dogs - with their eyes animated to look as if they are twinkling.
Webking.com proports to be the homepage of a web designer who will build your own for $99, but the site itself it so bad that only the clueless would employ him.Â
Aside from the photo of a man wearing a crown in the top corner, there is also an amateurish picture of a castle and lurid bright text scattered throughout.
The 'Web King': His prices start at $9.99
It's unclear how much design work Jack Spike is offered on the back of his prodigious talent
Something seems slightly 'flat' about Champagne Disco
Another website featured on websitesfromhell.com is hosanna1.com which proports to be links to ‘the most beautiful pages on the web’.
Unfortunately it is so clogged with multicoloured, overlapping text of different colours that it ends up leaving you with a headache.
In the middle there is even a bizarre section which orders the viewer in bright pink capitals: ‘CLICK HERE FOR PUPPIES!!!’
Some of the websites have been changed since appearing on the website, such as Florida-based TNT Events.
Before being named and shamed however it had an inexplicable yellow and scarlet colour scheme and text overlayed on top of a picture of its two founders, making the words unreadable.
