The site I visited is lame

If you want it REALLY slang, you can say "the site I checked out is lame."

Ex.:
"Madonna's new CD is pretty lame as well. That's why I dl all my music on livejournal. They have lots of mp3 sharing communities. ..."

The site I visited is really weak

If something is "weak" is colloquial US English, it`s not very impressive (i.e., "lame" as suggested elsewhere).

Another (very youth-oriented) option might be "bogus" (at least in the US).
