Good/Bad Design By: Lindsey Weygandt

A web design that is easy to navigate and contains consistent framework is a key element of good design. It is necessary that the available information is clear and informs the viewer of the destination of the attached link, how to get there, and what to expect. It is important to maintain a consistent theme from page to page. A web design will grab viewers if it has a visually appealing focal point, proper alignment, and high contrast. Some mistakes of bad web design include: clutter, sideways navigation scroll bars, junky advertising, and improper use of animation. The format of a website can determine if the creator will be successful in reaching the targeted audience.
