What makes a good design?

Good question. Very good question...

I think good design is:

  • unambiguous
  • attractive/funky - but not to the point of being distracting
  • works smoothly
  • is uncluttered and clean
  • has high quality graphics/images that contribute to the message of the page
  • is cohesive across pages of the site
  • has clear and consistent navigation that behaves in an expected way
  • information is easy to find
  • has a good balance between consistent items and 'sticky' items - familiar page but something new to go back for
  • has good links to other relevant sites and information
My top 10

ummm thinking about that one...
