Examples of Good and Bad Website Designs.

There are thousands upon thousands, maybe millions, of websites on the internet. Each website on the internet has had some to design the layout and design on the website. However, some website designs are terrible and embarrassing, were as some sites are designs perfectly and brilliantly. This post is to show examples of some of the good and bad websites.

Good Website.

When it comes to creating good website designs, it needs to be simple, quick, well laid out and professional. Some websites still fail to have good designers to design their websites.

Here is an example of a good website design.



This is the official site for the American metal band Stone Sour. As you can see this is a perfect example of a good website design. The design is kept simple, easy and quick throughout the website. Navigating through the site has never been so easy. Everything from images and text is easily noticeable and can be quickly accessed without slow and boring loading times. The website is also very good at not putting to much information or images on the screen for the audience. There is nothing worse that going onto a website an not know what you are doing due to how crowded the website is with information, lucky this website doesn't do this. For fans of Stone Sour, like myself, it is a perfect website to browse. When it comes to music sites for bands or artists, designers tend to shove in a music player which will play the band/artists music in the background. This website doesn't do this, which I think is a massive plus. Having a music player on the website can make the site much slower; this is because the site is too busy trying to load the music player rather than images, text and anything that is on the site.

Bad Website.

When there is good website designs there is also bad ones. Here is a example of a bad website design.


As you can see this website is horrific. This website was actually created to show how bad websites can be on the internet. The creator put everything that makes a website bad, into this website. Everything about this website made me angry, from the background animation to the terrible and annoying music playing constantly in the background, to make it worse it repeats every 10 seconds. The colour scheme is terrible, the theme is terrible, everything about this website is terrible. If you want to have a look at this website for yourself here it is but do remember, it was created for a joke.
