recipe for a good website

this website basically tells you that when creating a website you must use the best content. you want to continually update it so it doesn't get old. don't use inappropriate content and understand that your website won't appeal to everyone, so don't try and make it appeal to everyone. the food thing is cute, but a little much. this website must only be interested in the content, because the design is not great.

Interesting websites

www.bernstein-rein.com: the site is really visually interesting. the way it navigates you through the pages is really cool. it tells you a story through each topic. it gets your attention and makes you want to keep looking and it is easy to navigate.

www.austintexas.org: i think this site is visually interesting. it gives you the look and feel of texas and it is nicely structured. i think it has a few too many main buckets to choose from, but it is organized well so things are easy to find.

www.colorado.edu/theatredance/: this site is very clean. it is extremely easy to navigate with only 4 original buckets to choose from. the fragile and organic elements give it a personality that fits well with the organization of theatre and dance.

www.chicagofashionresource.com: this site is very sleek, well designed for the content it contains. i like the imagery and typeface they chose. i really like the charcoal background color they chose becuase i think it really makes the images pop and stand out on the page.

www.kathleenedwards.com: this site is very elegant. i really like the way everything comes onto the page when you first open it. i also like how when you click on a main link it doesn't take you to a new window, it simply moves the elements on the page to bring in the new information, which keeps it easy to know where you are.

www.barkleyus.com: the site is clean, well organized, easy to understand, interesting, always tells you where you are.

www.nature.com: this site is also about nature, but i think they publish articles and books on subjets related to nature. it looks like you can still find a good amount of worthy information.

www.nature.org: this is the nature conservancy. their main goal is to protect nature. it provides nature news and information about the organization but i think the information is quite different from enature.com.

www.naturedetectives.org.uk/: this site is geared toward children and is really cute. i really like the design and the way it is organized.
