Stacey Kirby's good and bad sites



I decided to investigate some of the sites on the web that offer stock
photos. This is what I found:

Bad: http://www.triscan.com.au (Triscan company)

- site is boring and not enticing 
- the choice of colors of fonts and backgrounds is bad and at some
points making the information hard to read
- not much content to the site
- there are four main links and two of them led to the same page
- the site is very flat 
- the one animated graphic serves no purpose 
- there is too much scrolling

Good: http://www.artville.com

- very interesting design...peaks curiosity of the reader
- easy navigation...good organization of buttons 
- consistent design so the reader can always know where to find links
and heading of page each time (always a bar at bottom for navigation
which may be not be needed at times)
- no annoying useless animated graphics
- good search options
- good content 
(background images could be toned down a bit though)
