Good
1. Pages that download quickly.
2. Clean professional design with plenty of space.
3. Great balance between images and text.
4. A clear hierarchy of information.
Bad

2. Selling everything to everybody.
3. Having to download specialist software to view parts of the site.
4. No Sign up area to capture customer data.
5. Confusing site navigation.
Ugly
1. Pages that only look okay in one browser.
2. Pages that can’t be displayed properly on a mobile device.
3. Lots of adverts and pop ups.
4. Flashing text.
5. Busy, distracting backgrounds.
6. Sites that lack personality and consistent branding.
