Patrick McNeal explains that the best quality of a website is the ‘minimal style.’ Looking
at Victoria Beckham Official, one would find that it fits Dieter Rams’ “good design is as little
design as possible” philosophy (269). The interface has lesser designs, which makes it better
since it concentrates on the crucial aspects of the website. Victoria’s products are therefore not
troubled with non-essentials. Simplicity is the key in website design. Equally, it appears that
Victoria leave space for prospective
advancement in design; the website is
therefore innovative, which fulfills
another of McNeal’s principle of
good design.

Ellentube
McNeal also explains that a good design makes a
product useful (269). As seen in ellentube, which is
comedian/ TV personality Ellen DeGeneres official
website, the website design has a functional value, which

, underscores the value of the product. Upon entering the website, a user is able to make a decision
through a variety of options available under ‘Categories.’ Comedy, giveaways, games, celebrity
interviews, and music are some of the options that give the website a functional value. Similarly,
the design has an aesthetic value another one of Rams’ principles of good design.
Rick.com
This is an entertainment website for hit music
lovers accessible everywhere on the planet. The most
visible aspect of rick.com is that it fulfills McNeal’s
minimal standard with its simplicity. Likewise, the
website is beautiful in the way it is designed; the colors
and the interplay create an aesthetic value. Rick.com is
also a relatively recent modification, which shows that Figure 3https://rick.com/
the website is innovative.
Kanye West Shop
When Dieter Rams says that the best design is ‘as little design as possible’ he did not
mean that a website should be plain and simple as seen in the Kanye West Shop. This shows that
the designer was lacking in imagination; there is nothing to make it
even qualify to be called a design. There is no art, pattern, or any
strategy either. As such, Kanye West Shop lacks aestheticism and
it is simply plain I A screen shot of the website is barely
