24xtreme,
Best: JohnCow.com – What a custom blog skin. Just looks very colourful and certainly a blog i would like to read. The colour schemes certainly works well.
Worst: PSD2HTML.com – I really do not like sites that fill the entire screen. Also the graphic wrist band across the top right looks a little untidy.

The best : JohnCow.com looks neat and simple with some graphics on header and footer.
The worst : DomainMagnate.com because the orange color doesn’t fit with other colors.

Best : JohnCow.com have very nice cool look design is simple but color combination with logo and the cartoon make it very catchy and clear
Worst : As per name of Escrow it should be design like that and right now just 3 rectangle box on a page with ugly color combination.

Best – Estibot – They understand why I would visit their site by having the appraise box displayed prominently.

Worst – John Cow – Don’t particularly care for copycat sites, especially the smug cartoon character.

I like psd2html.com, their design looks great.

The worst is parked.com for me, their site looks like a template.

Best one: bidvertiser.com
I really like that layout, it’s simple and effective, choosed colors have taste and fits great into layout and in the whole picture with other colors on the page. Boxes are placed well on the site, with taste and right feel in my opinion. All in one, looks simple but clear, informative and effective.

Worst one: estibot.com
First of all, those bad and old looking table with links on top, really looks so last century. Central content could be better aligned and not just trown on the page, left column is higher than right columns which are only ads (bad for such a site). It also looks like they are hacked or I don’t get those Hakukoneoptimointi.com links at the bottom of the page. All in one, it doesn’t look very professional to me.

Best design: dnsstuff.com
Professional looking clean tech design, without looking too much like a template. The calls to action are large and easy to understand.

Worst design: Escrow.com
Green and orange? Based in Wisconsin? There is a lot of text strewn over the page, nothing stands out and it all looks like a confusing mess. The call to action is lacking some kind of explanation or further text to relate the benefit. Start an escrow now, does not give the user a benefit for doing so and does not explain what this all means to a user that doesn’t know what an escrow is.

The best one is bidvertiser.com
I’m falling in love with bidvertiser design, very good in combining colors, more informative and easy navigation. Let’s say its cool, calm, and confidence.
———————————
The worst one is escrow.com
escrow design is too simple or primitive design, maybe they are too lazy for making some update or changes.

Me, i just love dnsstuff design. it look just so simple yet everything blends well all together. Plus, the site are really user friendly.
For worsts design i have to go with estibot. Looks like the it stuck with the 90’s era, and too much square. Put up more striking color and images, probably round edge square for the table.

Best: psd2html. The design is kept simple with matching color palette.

Worst: estibot. The color scheme doesn’t match each other. What with the huge ads that takes half of the page? There is too much things at the top table list, I’m confused with the page navigation.

Best designed:
In my opinion, bidvertiser.com is the best designed site. its very light, so users even on dial up have no problem loading the website. It has a very clean interface, structured layout; even a first time visitor will have no problems navigating the website. I am also impressed by the simple designed header and logo. The “Featured Advertisers” are placed neatly on the bottom left with no intrusive ads splashed to normal surfers.

Worst Designed:
With all due respects to John Cow and his success, I am not particularly impressed by the design of the blog (or website). Too may ads is one thing that turns me away. The site is also heavy on bandwidth; a downside which usually turns away potential visitors on low speed internet connection. The top navigation can easily be missed, which can leave newcomers wondering about the structure of the website. The number of posts on homepage needs to be reduced, in my opinion. Users need to scroll down to access earlier posts, which is something I am not a fan off.

My fav design of the lost is probably psd2html. Clean, nice layout and easy to find what you want.

Least fav is probably estibot. I assume they “designed” it like that more for the SEO with all the text links and such but it’s possible to do the same while still making it look nice. There are tons of very simple service type sites out there with just one input box but still look great…some inspiration from those would help the design of estibot.

Best: I really liked Bidvertiser.com
The design of the layout is simple yet anyone who get there will find easily what he’s looking for. The combination of the colors are pleasing to eyes. Comfortable much! Number one in designing. Easy navigating on pages. Links are favorable.

Worst: This is not really the worst, err, I just think the layout of Estibot.com is lacking of something. Maybe the templete is sooooo dull? 4 colors isn’t enough. Gee, their site still helps but the templete navigation has too many links on it. Maybe a minute or two to find what I’m looking for.
