week, 5 Good and Bad Web Designs

This week we looked at writing and what it means in terms of web design, it is alot different writing on the web then on paper as you have to be more creative and insert images that immediately captures the readers eye.

Already, I managed to find some examples of good and bad web designs

• Evite.com - In short, this website is crying out for an overhaul. With more and more sites emphasizing flexability and user control over content, Evite's fill-in-the-blanks approach feels clumsy and to and extent dated. The ads are intrusive and as for the navigation, it's slow, your never quite sure what you are clicking on because some of the pages are blank it also takes a while for some of the pages to load, need I say more. The service has also been slow to adopt some of the media sharing tools that have become a standard way of the web. Definitely not recommended for those of you who maybe in a hurry.
  

• Myspace.com - One of the most popular social networking sites and also one of the top ten online destinations overall. It seems as though this community has become infested with marketers and various other opportunitists who create false profiles and essentially spam other users.

www.jeansstore.co.uk

This is an example of good web design because it is informative and it is user friendly and the navigation is really good as well, I also think that the layout is very good and the brands are clearly marked which makes the consumer want to buy jeans because of the way how each pair is marketed. In my opinion, definitely concised.


Another example of excellent web design is asos.com, which is a relatively new online fashion retailer which specialise in current trends as seen by the celebrities. In my opinion their website is very good because it is easy to navigate, also there are still images of the clothing followed by a catwalk so you can really see the product which makes it much easier for the consumer to decide where or not the product is right for her/him. The website also allows you to zoom right up to the product so you can see what the material is like and the texture.
