I think ESPN is an example of a site with good Web design. The site includes a lot of information, but is not overwhelming. The text is black, which keeps it simple, so as not to clash with the photos. Additionally, the site utilizes tabs to link to different sports, which prevents clutter on the home page. Finally, the pictures not only coordinate with the topics on the home page, but they are placed on the page from largest to smallest, which shows importance.
Bad Web Design
An example of bad web design can be found on the Tally-Ho uniforms website. The site is extremely distracting. The flashing ad caught my attention before the title did. The cloud background with planes flying across the page also prevented me from focusing on content. There are too many fonts used and the sizes vary across the page. The designers also went overboard on the use of "special effects." If I were trying to purchase uniforms, I would stay away from this site regardless of the deals they offer because it is entirely too hard to read.
