12. Positive and Negative Example of Web Usability

Positive example

 In my personal experience I would say that coub.com is a good example of a website with good usability. The pages' layout is pretty straightforward (with web design I would say that simple is usually the best) and learning how to get what you need from this site doesn't take too long. Searching for content is easy whether it be looking for something specific or just related to some topic. However it's quite addictive and that most of the time is not a good thing.

Negative example

 I don't want to generalize but from my experience almost all of the news portal websites were bad user experience. First thing you get is usually ads thrown at you, while the real content is hidden somewhere between those ads and "related" articles. Learning how to search for necessary information and navigate through those sites can be hard if you've never been to those sites before. In my opinion, there's usually too many distractions from the main content for a news site which greatly subtracts from user experience.
