My Favorite Websites

I typically don't pay attention to the visual content of websites, but upon further review, I have found five that I particularly like:

1. EBay - Besides being one of my favorite sites because of its function, I really love it for its layout. Everything is clear; the item categories are easily displayed on the site, the search function is prominent, and the site is very clear and easy to navigate with good color contrast without being excessive. It's overall one of my favorites.

2. Yahoo! - Even though I'm partial to Google as a search engine, I use Yahoo! all the time. It's my homepage actually. I love all the features that Yahoo! has, with its email, music, and newsreel. All of its features are easy to access by using the menu on the left side of the screen.

3. Roll Tide.com - I mean seriously, how can you not love the website? The red background is amazing. The website is clear and simple, with the appropriate color contrast. And the elephant in the background owns.

4. Dictionary.com - You can't get more straightforward and simple. It's amazing. Every function you need is available right at the top. The rest you can pretty much ignore because it's not important. The color is good enough to complement the site but not bold enough to distract.

5. Despair.com - It's simple yet very functional. I like the blue on black color scheme; it fits the mood very well. The site sells posters with very funny and depressing phrases on them, so I think it all fits very well.
