Post a really ugly website, then a really attractive website. Tell me why they do and don't work visually and rhetorically.

Ugly Website - Dictionary.com - http://dictionary.reference.com/

Attractive Website - Seminoles.com - http://www.seminoles.com/#00

I find Dictionary.com an ugly website because it has no pictures on it. The font used on it is dull and unattractive, and with the exception of the blue header, the font color is black and grey. There is nothing that stands out when you look at it. Dictionary.com is a very plain and simple website. It makes sense though. Dictionary.com is not trying to sell you something. Its not trying to prusuade you. It is a simple tool that people use.

On the other hand I find Seminoles.com (FSU's athletic website) a very attractive website. When you first open it you notice the seminole logo. It is large and centered, letting people know that they are in FSU territory. In addition, there is a picture of the cheif osceola in the upper right corner. There are a lot of links with pictures up and down the sides of the page. The website is garnet and gold. I know that this is because they are the team colors, but it helps the page stand out.
