The internet is huge, and there are countless websites, despite this some manage to stand out by being modern, effective and aesthetically pleasing.
Today I have looked at both good and bad website designs, designs I should learn from, and some designs I should avoid...
The GOOD
AndPeople:
andpeople.co.za/
This site is frankly amazingly well designed, the companies iconic logo is unmissable, important images are large, expanded upon mouse-over feature a small description and link to a portfolio. This website manages to be very original, well designed and very easy to navigate in an interesting, creative way.
Whitney Museum of America:

I noticed that this website also features its logo in a very obvious and creative way, this one's follows you as you scroll, drawing attention to itself. I will incorporate similar ideas into my own website.
Tractorbeam:
tractorbeam.com/
What I really love about this website is the great way it displays everything to you in these squares, no space is wasted, it has enough colour and it looks great.
I will definitely try and do something similar in my own website.
The BAD
The world's worst website ever:
theworldsworstwebsiteever.com/
Since i'm going to be looking at bad websites, I decided to begin by looking at the worlds absolute worst. Obviously this is intentionally bad, but it still perfectly illustrates what not to do, the contrasting colours are ugly, its difficult to navigate and full of pointless stuff.
Arngren:
arngren.net/
This is the most cluttered website I have ever seen, its cluttered, ugly, too many colours and its completely impossible to navigate. Definitely helpful in knowing what to avoid.
Feng Shui Interior Design:
jamilin.com/
The colours used on this website are terrible, the clash of neutral and colourful makes it ugly and difficult to read, and therefore navigate. The website is just a pain to use.
