The difference between good and bad


Not a Great Site

When it comes to making a website, you want to make sure that it has a good layout. You don't want to have too much blank space but you also don't want to have to cluttered. In the link above, the website never fully loads, there is a ton of white space, they don't really tell you what they are about and so on. You don't want to have a bunch of errors on your site as well.



The Perfect Site
This is a perfect example of a great designed website. It is appealing to the eye, they explain what they are about, and they show the purpose of their website and products. You want to make sure that you capture everything you want the people to know and see about you in your website.

Bad And Great Website Examples

A Poorly Designed Site
The website above is a perfect example of a poorly designed website. First of all, everything is everywhere! There is a million pictures squeezed together and it looks like a game of Where's Waldo. The links are all over the place, and in all honestly you you cant even tell what the website is about.

A Great Designed Site
On an other note this website is a great example of how all websites should look like. This website has a great use of flash player and is also very easy to navigate around. Everything is neat and organized and shows no confusion what so ever.

The good, The bad,and the ugly websites

A Poorly made website: http://msy.com.au/ <-- MSY is a company in computer design for ten years and they still made a poorly made website I just don't like how everything is placed randomly. But mainly they tried and failed miserably. They don't know about word press or dream weaver wow they much have a lot of time on they're hands sarcastically said. MSY company aren't the best at making sites because they just bend things in random place and some parts of the site isn't even completed and they pass that as a site. Really a monkey can make a better website

A Greatly made website: code.flickr.com/blog/ <-- A web site that was made from word press and it has a great design and its simple. Which simple can be better than an over excessive glossy design. Basically you see this site and say "wow they kept it simple and good." Which is better than that other site.

Why isn’t the apparel industry environmentally friendly: A Discussion on Corporate Greed and its Negative Impacts on Our Environment


You may not realize it, but according to this article by The Wall Street Journal, the apparel industry is much grimier than you'd think. In fact, it poses many strains on the quality of the environment. In the process of making clothes including turning cotton thread and fabric, clothes are often shipped several times around the world before they are ready to be sold and sent to stores. Furthermore, growing cotton requires large amounts of water at a time when many countries are starved of water and many materials to make clothes such as synthetic fabrics release toxic compounds into the atmosphere. Now, many of you may be wondering why these companies don't do anything about the harm they are causing. The sad truth is that many of these companies are far more interested in exploiting people and the environment for maximum profits. Mitigating these environmental threats would be expensive and unfortunately the majority of the apparel industry seems largely apathetic about this issue.

Is the Eco Index Reliable???


The Outdoor Industry Association has started one of it's biggest undertakings. The OIA has started a worldwide Eco Index as the standard sustainability research tool. The different products covered by this Index are extremely diverse and hard to keep track of. Certain companies such as levis gain points just from increadibly minute things. The Eco Index also does not keep track of human rights and should measure more than just the carbon footprints left by companies. Then again "sustainability" is a word that could have different meanings to people.

What Eco Index Percentage are you?

Nowadays the world is very aware of what we do greatly affects the environment. Many apparel companies have now decided to take the environmental route to create and manufacture their clothes. Eco Index is a software tool used to question companies on their Eco-friendly practices. Their answers are all calculated and used to present a percentage to represent their company. The higher percentage you are means you are greatly helping the environment. These percentages influences many buyers today.
