Five Best and Worst Websites

Five Best Websites

KawaiiKakkoiiSugoi- I actually found out about this website the other day. In Japanese, kawaii means cute and this website definitely is cute. The colors are perfect and appropriate to the name of the site and the content that is posted. The navigation is also simple to use, which I really would like on my own website. Everything is separated in terms of content and it is organized perfectly.

AllKPop- It took me a while to get used to the new layout of the website, but this layout seemed more organized than the other one. For starters, I like that it has the past seven days feature on the site. You can click on a date and go view the articles posted on that day. It saves the time of you trying to search for a certain article. Also, all the follow links are placed together on the right of the site. I like everything to have their own section, and AllKPop is a good example of that.

OtakuJournalist - I did a mini presentation on this site in my COM 302 class. The site has changed dramatically and it works. I like how simple the website looks. There isn't an influx of graphics and buttons on the site, which I would use on my website.

La Carmina - La Carmine basically has my dream job and her blog is very nice. I love the graphics and artwork that she has on the banner. It's aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

TokyoFashion - Some of the sections on this website are a little cluttered, but I like how they arrange their photos in the photo section. It's an organized way to show pictures, and can be used for other media.

Five Worst Sites(yuck!)

Craigslist - Even though Craigslist is a well known and used site, it's absolutely hideous. The only colors I see are blue, black and white. The colors make the website looks bland and it makes me take the site less seriously. Also, the personal section is only in black and the blue is really obnoxious;it's pretty bright and ugly in my opinion.  Another thing is that the words are all cramped together. The sections looks like they have no space whatsoever; it makes it less organized.

The Big Ugly Website- This site lives up to its name. It's absolutely hideous, I don't even know where to start. First, there's a multitude of random colors and graphics. The background is an ugly bright yellow. The font is not consistent at all. It's just a big, ugly mess.

Xanga - I used to blog on this site when I was younger, but I never liked the design for it. It's boring and bland and it's not exciting. Nothing makes me want to stay there for no more than five seconds. The bar on the bottom is annoying and pointless to me. I'm sure a lot of people just exit out of it and never use it. Also, the boxes on the bottom look weird. I feel that the advertisements should be on the sides instead of in ugly boxes on the bottom.

AnimeCrazy - This is a good anime site, but the website design is quite ugly. There are sections that shouldn't be on the front page. They should be in their own sections on the top of the page. The organization is sub-par, but it could be improved on more.

Misspheonixrightxxxx.piczo.com - Ew, just ew. Especially putting Phoenix Wright's name to shame and spelling it wrong. The background is neon green. All the content is aligned to the left and it's compacted together making it hard to read. Also, music plays on this site and it's loud and annoying. There's isn't even an option to turn it off.
