What Website has the Cleanest Site Design?
Gabe Anast asks: "The recent article on Microsoft's market dominance referred to an article at the International Herald Tribune, which I read until I became engrossed in the natural readability and intuitive interface of that site. It's amazing! I'll have to say that site has the cleanest design of any I have ever used. So, of course, I thought 'What are the other "best designed" sites? Would Slashdot know? My personal criteria for site design is: graphic design/appeal; an intuitive interface; and content that flows naturally (eg: high content density that does not sacrifice clarity). What are your favorite sites, and by what criteria do you judge such?"
It's also not a website. W3C can't tell what it is, and a quick look at the source tells me it full of problems, numberone on my list being an extreeme over-use of javascript.
Come on, the timecube guy is obviously a master at modern UI deign and html layout. :-)
Seriously though, here are some sites whose design I like:
Sweetcode
Mathworld
openrbl.org
perldoc
Paul Borke's website
the Joel On Software forums
the Tech Report (a debatable choice, but the best of its type)
Dmitry's Design Lab
They offer tips on how to fix thing and how not to make annoying sites. I find it best to learn by example. They show bad examples so you know what NOT to do.
