Good vs Bad Web Design

Bad Web Design:
- Neon colors everywhere
- No navigation bars
- No easy way to tell what to do
- Makes the reader have to do too much work
- Ads everywhere in random places
- Text overlapping pictures, pictures covering text
- Goes too long without the reader getting any info
- Random music you can't turn off, worse if it has nothing to do with the content of the website

Good Web Design:
- Easy to read text
- Navbars that are easily accessible
- You can figure out what to do easily
- No ads, or ads that are fairly out of the way
- Small chunks of text
- Pictures used when necessary and add to website content
- Immediately find what you need
- Plain background that doesn't distract the reader
