If i say... do you say its aesthetically pleasing

Aesthetics is what each person finds visually pleasing. This is different for each person as their tastes will vary depending on personal influences.

As for the websites i like and dislike:
I love the soulwax website it is easy to navigate, while still creating enough interest to keep you occupied and online. each little piece expands out to give more information which i find more interesting that just scrolling down a page full of text! i like the use of black and white with simple burst of color, i think it works really well on this site. i also think that modular people website provides an interesting solution to the boring straight us and down websites that no longer catch my attention! It uses lots of basic bright colours and simple readable text which is unusual for modular-as they are all about being arty and cutting edge to the point where some of there text in their magazine i totally unreadable, and hurts you head to try-but this attracts the kiddies and makes the the coolest of the cool, so who am i to bag it out. The website is awesome though, informative, interesting and visual pleasing.
As for websites that need a helping hand aesthetically... Id have say..
the best website in the world is really very funny,i was crying from laughing so much, but also crying from the colour use...yellow and white text (especially the yellow) on black background, i had to squint to read it and even ten it was hurting my eyes. Its is boring set out...just heading, though when you go into each post there are pictures and different text colour, but even the text in there is badly coloured. It uses a sad off white slightly orange colour. Its just really ugly. it doesnt create much interest for people just browsing, but with 190,371,308 views...i guess attracting new viewers is not a huge priority.
The worst thing i have ever seen is this site aside from being a "jesus loving" site, which may be what some people like, but for me being told its jesus was or eternal hell isnt my idea of fun reading. And after seeing it i have only one thought- if jesus was so awesome maybe he would have given these people better skills at design. Instead he made them blind, and that is why this horrid bright, moving background was put on there..i cant tell you much else about it, i was too busy throwing up from looking at it for 2 seconds, but that should say it all!
