Final Site on California Condor

It took many, many, many sleepless hours, but I am thrilled to have completed my site. Please let me know what you think. I changed the design, colors and text fonts. Hope this is an improvement from the original design.

Five Bad and Good Websites

Bad Sites

http://www.vulture-territory.com/california.html

The overall design is not good, the color the information and how the title of the page is place on a banner. Just doesn't work.

http://www.peregrinefund.org/explore_raptors/vultures/cacondor.html

Although a few of the pictures posted are good, the site design is very plain. It looks very similar to a brochure.

http://www.azgfd.gov/w_c/california_condor.shtml

This site appears really busy. The font doesn't help because it adds to that busy look. 

http://www.azgfd.gov/w_c/california_condor.shtml

I like the picture of the condor, but most of the information on the bird begins at the bottom of the page.

http://www.bigsurcalifornia.org/condors.html

This site looks very similar to a blog, though I do like the colors in the design and the information provided on the California Condor with lot's of great pictures of the birds in their habitat. 

http://www.bigsurcalifornia.org/condors.html

There are no pictures of the condor!
