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.
