Why do bad things happen?

Just when I thought it could not get worse, I “re-”came across Wema Bank’s website. I was having a discussion with a friend about the propects and pitfalls of the web design business in Nigeria. To prove a point that some sites are not designed to make an impact, I offered to open up the sites of some Nigerian banks - Zenith Bank, GTB Plc, Wema Bank.

I knew (had known for a while) that Wema Bank’s site was not well designed (am being generous there), I opened it as a representation of poor design.

Wema Bank Redesign

Even though their site is poorly designed, it helped me prove a point. How can a bank go live with “nothing”. Its a shame. They could have placed an “Under Construction” or “Undergoing Recapitalisation” sign on the page. It would have made more sense.

And frankly, this design sucks.
