Sunbiz.org; Florida Division of Corporations (BAD)

http://sunbiz.org/

This website is the place where companies, foundations, corporations and in general businesses in Florida have to register. So basically you pay them to navigate for minutes to find something and look at their half - sided page. Fortunately, they will soon lunch their new website. They finally listened to the people and got tired of their horrible website.

The most essential thing for such a website is searching. Users should be able to search for a form or a document. Currently there's no option to search, so you have to spend some decent amount of time if you have to do something on this website. Hopefully their new "website design" is not going to be this bad.

Chris Taverna - Greek Restaurant (Bad)

http://christaverna.com/

Unlike their food, this restaurant's website is just horrible. They have updated it since the first time I visited it last year, but there is still a ton they should fix. I wanted to look at their menu before going there, and after searching and navigating for 5 minutes I could not find it and I just gave up. If someone can find their menu, let me know in the comments. I still cannot find it.

Besides the lack of menu, its so poorly designed that I don't think you can call this a design. The background picture is just thrown out there, the layout color looks really bad, the "map" that's at the bottom of the page doesn't make any sense because its just a picture, and the list goes on.

But the food was really good though, it was worth it.

Ritz Carlton (Good)

http://www.ritzcarlton.com/

I just enjoy every time I visit this website. The design looks good and navigating through it is easy. It has the important links for a hotel on their home page. They designed it in a way that reservation and important info pops up once you click on them. Its convenient to pay on the same page and open other things without leaving the page. Overall a very good example of a good website

xfinity (Bad)

http://www.xfinity.com/

xfinity has a decent website in terms of its design. But the design of a website cannot be the only key to evaluate a website. In the case of xfinity's website, maintenance also plays an important role. Personally, I have had problems on their website every time I was checking or changing something on my account. A company like xfinity should always maintain their website.

The first problem which is really annoying with this website is it keeps asking you to log in despite you are already logged in like 10 times. Good design, but needs more than that.

Netflix (Good)

https://www.netflix.com/

I like everything about the design of Netflix's website. Its simple, modern and very easy to navigate. Some might say that it should have such a good design because it has millions of users and subscribers and earns millions of dollars off of them. Yes, that's true, but unlike some other online movie and video streaming websites Netflix has kept its simple design.

When it comes to the design of a website, designers should not only think about the everyday users, but also a user who visits the page for the first time. Netflix has designed its website with that in mind, and it actually helps them with their marketing.
