Recently I was browsing through websites as I usually do. Once I came upon a very ugly flashy website, I didn’t even bothering reading what it had, I moved on. So, I thought I would list ten websites with the best designs and then ten with the worst designs. Any website not listed here does not mean it’s not the best or not the worst! But, after seeing the ones on these two lists, you should be able to figure out what your website falls under if I was to visit.

Please note: the best designs may not be the best, but compared to the worst, they are the best!

I will start with the best designs, because they deserve to be at the top of the page, not the bottom.

Best Designs

1. Vitamin
2. 9rules
3. Design Snack
4. Elixir Graphics
5. Flash Life
6. Veerle’s Blog
7. WomensWallstreet
8. NetResults
9. Finch
10. Blogsolid

Worst Designs

1. Profile Glam
2. Cute Quote Graphics
3. Best MySpace Goodies
4. Worlds Worst Web
5. RogerART
6. Porla Puta
7. Hypotheticals
8. Worst Website
9. Freemap
10. AJFF

The reasons for the website under the worst designs should be obvious. I’m not trying to offend anyone, but too much animation, tiled backgrounds, bright colors, etc. just don’t work and make it hard to read the actual content. A couple of the links show you what you shouldn’t use.
