This article went over what Ben felt was the top 10 best designed websites in the world. Ben mentioned why he felt each one was in his top 10. Most of Bens choices were simple websites as far as layout and concept are concerned. Color balances and the flow of the website also seemed high on Bens priorities for websites.

In my opinion this is not a very overated list of websites. I don't feel like the article is well written simply because he didn't justify the choices enough to convince me that they could be considered in the top 10. If you are going to make a statement like these are the top 10 best designed websites then you should backup your choices with why you feel these websites qualify. I can think of several websites just off the top of my head that could qualify for this list. #7 on his list was because it had "Big text, simple nav, high usability, all wrapped in strong colour and finished off with nice graphical touches. " I am sorry that sounds like a junior high kid trying using simple words to describe a website.

Even though i do not feel that he justified his choices he did have a reason to put these websites on his list. They do shed light on concepts that should be thought of while designing a website. Ben pointed out several times that the websites that were easy to read were reasons he choose them.
