| Stanford
University
http://www.stanford.edu/ Good use of color in background and text. Photo helps give you a sense of what Stanford is like, not a meaningless close-up. Clean presentation of a lot of information, and doesn't need constant updating in order to remain fresh. Contact information clearly displayed.

National
Institutes of Health
http://www.nih.gov/ Tried to fade the image at the top, did it so much that the screen just looks dirty. Have a nice color bar on the side but waste a lot of navigational space by overlapping the images into the white space. Would work better if they centered the images in the color bar and ditched the fade effect on the right hand border of each photo.

| New
York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/ Makes a visual connection to the printed newspaper, but doesn't try to recreate it. Makes good space of white space, simple black and red type is most effective on the Web.

UNC Offices of the University
Registrar
http://regweb.oit.unc.edu/registration/ Pink/purple background makes it difficult to use. Uses frames (can be tricky to see where you are). Uses very small type on some pages, almost unreadable.

| University of Georgia
http://www.uga.edu/ Good use of Java to bring up the text when you rollover one of the options on the homepage---helps provide more information without making the page appear cluttered or busy. Feathered edges of the photo creates a more artistic effect, use of drop shadow in head line an attempt to add a sense of depth to the page.

Ball's page
http://students.haverford.edu/jball/ Hard to read text on this background, blinking headline gets incredibly annoying in a big hurry. In his defense, he does ask for advice and suggestions,and gives you a way to contact him.

| Greg
Zimmerman's page
http://students.haverford.edu/gzimmerm/ Example of how a black background can work effectively. Nice use of images as links and the images load quickly. Also gives you an idea of what you'll find when you follow the link. Spinning counter on the bottom is annoying.

http://students.haverford.edu/jslemmer/ What does this mean?? Without the right plug-in we have no idea.
