Here is a list of 10 websites that I consider to be great websites.

They are all very clear, neat and with the appropriate amount of information that does not make it messy. It’s easy to maneuver on the pages and you don’t have to speculate on where to go to find what you want. There are nice pictures with sensible text.

Here is a list of 10 websites that I consider to be bad websites.
These websites are very messy. Lots of text and pictures that are not well put together. There are also various features on the pages that are cumbersome and use. A lot of these pages contain animated posters,  which are intended to provide information. But that gets disruptive and they are hard to read.
