Examples of Poorly Designed Web Pages

1. As you look at each of these web pages explain what design principle the page violates. Be specific in your explanation citing specific examples from the page.

2. Write a note to the author explaining what you would change to make the page more effective.

Note: Most of these sites come from the webpagesthatsuck.com web site. Not all of the content on this site is appropriate for this class so I have pulled these examples for discussion.

Costcutter - What does this company do? What information will you get from the site?
