Good Website Designing
There are many principles behind a good website design. One of them involves navigation. The designer must always think to themselves if the website is easy to navigate, so people can move around your website freely without any difficulty. An effective way to do this is clickable buttons. A rule with this is known as the "three-click rule". This means that people should be able to access the information they need in three clicks at the most. Colors is also something a good website design must have. It enhances the users experience, meaning it creates balance and overall makes it easier to the eye. However, too much colors can be bad. If you take a look in the bad website designing column, you can see that the websites have way too much colors and hard on the eye to read. Images are essential to a good website design as well. It helps you connect with your target audience and makes your website look more entertaining. This website displayed an excellent title screen displaying simple graphics and text. Evidently, it was easy on the eye and lured me to continue reading the website. The rest of the website was just as colorful and organized, with simple navigation.
This website was rather unique. Rather than having tabs to navigate through pages, it had arrows for navigation, almost similar to a slideshow. It was simple, with few words to read, and the colors made the reader feel calm, comfortable, and relaxed.
The designer of this website did an outstanding effort. The colors were simple and relaxed, and everything was organized and well balanced, with graphics on one side and text on the other. Navigation was also easy with no difficulty whatsoever.
The website, Product Designer, is similar to the World Food Clock, with arrows rather than tabs for navigation from page to page. But regardless, it was still just as easy and simple, and all the data was structured well, with graphics that gives the viewer a deeper understanding.
This website obviously had a lot of effort put into it. Though with no tabs to explain which page you are on, all the data was well organized and was clear: straight to the point. It was organized, simple, unique, and creative.

Bad Website Designing
Listed here are a few things that should be avoided in website designing. One of them is unorganization. If your website is unorganized, people will find it hard to navigate around your website or read your context listed on the page and thus you will loose your audience. Another key principle to keep in mind is too much detail. This means adding to much of something, such as text, moving pictures, or a combination of both that are scattered around your webpage. This would make it very distracting for your reader. This website is an example of unorganization and hard navigation and hard on the reader's eye. All the context in this website was so scattered, that it was almost impossible to read. Overall, the website designer did a poor effort.
This website was equally bad. There were too many graphics and colors. Just like the previous website, this also made it hard to navigate or read, and everything was chaotic, with graphics and text everywhere.
This website had too many moving pictures that takes the reader's focus on reading and thus makes it distracting. Some choice of words on this page made the designer of the website look unintelligent and insincere, as if the web designer did this intentionally. Summing this up, it would not look like a website I would trust.
This website has a massive technicolored spew that makes it hard for reading and can make others dizzy. In addition, there was too much information on a single webpage. In today's generation, everyone likes less reading when they see your website. But this demonstrates a bad example.
As you can see, the layout design of this website is horrible. There is too much on one webpage and thus makes it hard to navigate for the viewer to read one paragraph to another, especially when the page can scroll both horizontally and vertically.
