Not only does MoneyAsYouGrow.org have a great purpose (it teaches kids the lessons about money that they don’t learn in school), it has great design.
What I love:
- great tagline
- it explains the website’s purpose
- authority is established through the use of the Presidential seal
- they did not forget their share icons
- kid/young-adult friendly graphics
- the age-hierarchy is clear
- tastefully colorful!
- they just look cool
- on mouse-over, the avatar raise his/her hand (so there’s no confusion which one you’re clicking)
- the posters!
- no new-page loading
Things I would improve:
- Webfonts for title and tagline instead of using an image. They did add a tagline wrapped in an <h1> with the CSS display property set to “none”, but still…
Ease-of-use: 9/10 (the avatars can be a bit finicky and overlap the header)
Wow, this is a good blog post! For the reasons of it really explaining the good design of a website, and it makes me want to check it out, and its very informative. 🙂 I like the stuff you choose for your blog posts
