The worst .tel domains!

.tel domains with a bad design or unqualified content can't have a good influence to the .tel extension itself.

Here we can collect bad examples for the purpose of improvement both the technical platform and the settings of these particular .tel domains.

The honor of being identified as an ugly .tel domain first has the domain Rate.tel:

Oh yes, it hurts the eyes! As long Telnic doesn't improve the design extensively, .tel will never be able to be accepted by internet users. And some people are even wondering why .tel hasn't reached the street!

When a .tel is looking ugly, it's hardly the fault of the owner. What options does he have to improve the design of the homepage? Almost none!

The important criterion about the design of .tel domains is they will be always compared with websites of other extensions like .com.
Visitors expect a fresh and good looking design when opening it - and at the moment .tel can't deliver this.
I doubt the new templates will change this, because the individual configuration of a .tel will be still too limited.

You're right!

Some people invested a lot of effort in customizing their .tels.

In the following you see 3 .tel examples which got rewarded as the ".tel of the week".

Please think about if these websites would be realized under the extension .com:

• The header without possibility of text formatting wouldn't look so stiff.
  
• The main body of the domain (with the contact data) wouldn't look so amateurish.
  
• The positioning of pictures and advertising would be arranged more integrated.

For insiders who work a lot with .tel these domains may look advanced.
But for common internet users all these examples look very dissuasive!

You won't win in that category, because for that your domain is just too creative & too funny!
