UX

While i reviewed Toms.com, i found that thy had many great features, as well as overused ones. They did a fabulous job with contrasting colors and creating hierarchies, but at the same time, it was somewhat too much for the eye and a little excessive. As you can see by this image, 
They create a color scheme at the top part of the page. The banner overall shows the main idea, logo, links, and login. All the necessary things in a website. And as you go down, there are a very good use of graphics and photos in the hierarchy. They are evenly spaced, not completely centered, and attract the eye to what is supposed to be attractive. Overall, this website creates a pleasing visual effect and leaves you with a feeling of accomplishment.

3 confusing sites

This website shows horrible organization and lack of interest or order. There is no main section and the colors are dull and even monotone. The flashing ad makes it slightly worse by guiding your eye towards unneeded things.

Although this website has a good design and pattern, it gives no sign of direction or labels. It makes you guess at which image to click on and you don't even realize what the website is made for.

This website has a lot of color and a lot of graphics, making it hard to look at and painful to the eye. It gives you no sign of direction and honestly would cause me to turn the brightness all the way down on my computer.
