Well-Done and Raw Websites

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/myspace.com

This site is supposed to be a source for information about Myspace. It shows charts with percentages of keywords searched and the differentiation from month to month what’s trending and not trending. However the charts all have weird pop-ups in front of them and I am not sure how I am supposed to click them out. The background is also white and very plain except for the very top of the page there is a small header with the name of the site in it.


http://espn.go.com/

This is my favorite website personally it has all the sports news i need including rumors and current developments. Browsing is easy the website is split up by every type of sport and even certain cities can be viewed exclusively.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

A good website I've found was Illamasqua, a makeup company which I frequently purchase from. Their website is easy to navigate, uncluttered, and compelling. You can move easily forward with the navigation, and there is live chat assistance if needed. They provide good product descriptions as well as accurate photographs. Their tutorials are helpful and inspiring.

Under the category of bad/ugly websites falls this gem: Kids Know It. It is the "Internet's Most Popular Educational Website for Kids". Visibly, this website is atrocious. The background and colors clash. The navigation blocks are too large, and the links are cluttered. Furthermore, the links go outside their designated spaces. Most of the educational songs/games/etc. do not play, and their links are broken. Even though this website is terribly ugly, it is educational, and the children don't seem to mind.

Websites: good & bad

Bad:

www. Raft.org

This is an example of a poorly designed website. the background of the guy with the raft takes away from the text. There are way too many links and unwanted colors that make it look un professional. some of the links dont even work. there are too many pictures and it is distracting.

Good:

Minnettista.com

Worst Website Ever...And the Best!

I found this website to be one of the worst websites i have ever seen. It is extremely hard to read and there isn't much content on it. The website is missing information and it irritates my eyes. Some the headings make no sense and there are annoying jiff images that don't have anything to do with the website. There is poor formatting and the information is messy and doesn't make sense. All in all,  this website is horrible.

I chose the Apple website as my good website. I liked this website because i thought It was easy to use and attractive. It is not hard to read at all because the color scheme fits. All of the content makes sense and the images fit the page very well. The format is perfect and it provides lots of useful information. I think this is a well designed website.

Good Vs. Bad

http://dancing-baby.net/BabyMus1.htm - This is an example of a poorly designed website. To be completely honest it doesn't even seem like there is any point to this website. It has a baby dancing on it but I don't understand the reason why. I'd also like to say that the design isn't really attractive at all.

http://www.apple.com/ - This would be an example of a good attractive website. I like the way it looks. It also loads pretty fast and it's not confusing to read. Another good thing about the apple website would be the fact that there is actually a point to it! Unlike the website above.

People need to learn how to make websites.

Possible one of the worst websites I found in my brief search had to be of a Danish website named arngren, which can be found here. The key problem I have with this website is the lack of any thing all it is is a line of text.

The best website I personal have ever used was Google which can be found here. Google is simple and easy to use.

Good and Bad

http://ikissyou.org/

Is an example of a horribly put together website because there isn't really any structure and is very plain. It is a very boring page to look at, with almost everything being white and black. with the exception of few pictures.

http://www.amazon.com/

Amazon has a very nice setup to it, i like how there are many colors, but it is not overwhelming. It is easy to use and has a very nice format.
