Website Evaluation

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
