Websites-Good vs Bad

Good:

http://www.hp.com/

This website is very easy to read, which is important because it is selling products and you would not want to get users confused. The web page design is simple and I like its use of harmonious fonts and colors. The clear links and navigation tabs, makes maneuvering to the various sections of the page easy. The placement of pictures of its products grab your attention. I think this website is good overall because it fulfills its purpose by making it easy to view and buy hp products.



Bad:

http://www.alternativetransportservices.co.uk/

How do I count the many ways in which this website is bad??? It is supposed to be providing a service but besides its jarring heading in neon green that says "Alternate Transport service," I have no indication of what they do and how to get this information. The background is black and the text is brightly colored, making it difficult to focus and read. The flashing icons and pictures littered throughout the page are also very confusing. The page is loaded with so much text that you have no idea what you should click on. If you do however decide to click on the navigational tabs on the top left corner of the page, it takes you to other pages that are just as colorful and confusing as the main page. This is probably one of the worst websites that I have ever seen.
