Good Design
A good site should be easy to figure out how to use and should be easy to look at as well. What do you think of these?
Nice look, loads of information, easy to navigate - http://www.tifton.net/ Pleasing to look at, pertinent info, nice pictures - http://www.abac.edu/museum/ Pertinent info right up front or easy to find, nice organization - http://www.espn.com This site almost goes overboard, but it's cool, so check it out - http://www.carpemedia.com | Bad Design
There are lots of reasons that a site's design can be classified as truly bad such as poor or difficult to find navigation, awful color contrast that makes reading text difficult, poor organization, and the list could go on. Browse the sites below and see if you agree with my assessment:
Not completely awful, but the excess of advertisements and the load time for the page makes it a good candidate for a redesign at the least - http://tiftongazette.com/ Yowza! Too busy and very poor organization - http://art.yale.edu/ Huh? Unusable navigation - http://lesailes.hermes.com/us/en/ |
