Website Review for internet project

Website Review:

I have been asked to find and review 3 websites,explaining the website and giving my opinion on why it is a good/successful website.

The First website that i am going to review is a website called: http://goalieplus.com/

this website was shown to us in college as one of the examples and i can see why, there are many reasons why this is a poorly made website. Firstly the background is distracting from from the font which is already a bad contrast with the background. secondly the website has no real purpose or meaning, and finally the website is 'littered' with terrible flashing gifs and various images, not to mention that it clearly states on the website that the title is 'best ugliest website ever'.




The Second website that i have looked at is:HTTP://WWW.sixtiespress.co.UK/
this website is a directory to a few blogs and poems written by various poets/bloggers,
which is serprisingly hard to find out due to the terrible layout and general lack of sense on the page. the font and logo are not easy on the eyes and the whole website is poorly constructed.





The Third Website i am going to look at it a website called 'WWW.apple.com' in my opinion this is one of the best website on the internet in practicality and design.
the whole website follows a very strict style and theme and it is very user friendly and easy to navigate around. the font is very easy to read and the imagery is perfect.
