I agree with what others in the class have said about web pages needing to be easy to navigate and easy to read color schemes. I use frequently use company web sites to get part numbers and order equipment, etc. I can't understand why a company that sells to the public or provides product information to consumers doesn't see the need for a search box on their site. Nothing frustrates me more than having to drill down to find stuff when a simple search could have gotten me there much faster.
Anchor Audio probably has one of the worst sites for product information I've been to recently.

Another example of techno-complication is MCM Electronics. They recently changed their sales flyers from a PDF format to an interactive format. I think this has made the flyers much harder to read, though the table of contents and search features are nice. The problem is when the network is slow, the electronic turning of pages is excrutiatingly slow. You can get the idea here.

So, in complete agreement with Denise - Keep It Simple - should be at the forefront of good webpage design.
