The Good, The Bad, The Poorly Designed (Part V)

Best In Show



By far, the most improved site among each and every one I looked at on webpagesthatsuck. In 2006, this University site was lambasted (and again, for good reason) for several reasons, however the most appropriately concise were:

1. Jeez! That's a lot of s**t-brown color on a page!
2. Damn! This has to be one huge-a** page. (881,650 bytes, it turns out)
3. Where's the blankety-blank focus?

The page was covered in diarrhea brown and nearly impossible to navigate. 

Fast forward a decade and several face lifts and you have today's version which is AWESOME! It's clean, it's well organized and it flows. Not only that, it's appealing. Appealing! This site took the feedback and criticism and did something about it. For this, I have awarded Brown University the title of Best In Show. 

Well earned, Brown!
