Good and Bad Website Design

Ugly design: Miniclip free games site. This site bombards the user with graphics and video. The ads take over the screen and it is hard to figure out what is an ad and what is a game. There is a video of a game and also a video of an ad. To get to the list of games you have to scroll way down the screen and then through a massive list written in a small font.

Nice design: University of Maryland homepage. UMD's homepage is simple and does not require much scrolling. It has the links bar across the top and other links down the left side making the link you want easier to find. It also has a compact area where you can scroll through events while on the page which is convenient but still pleasing to the eye and does not require scrolling.
