Great Web Site Design

Can anyone tell me what is a "Great web site" means to you? I have spending couple of days to search for an answer. But till today, I have not find one.

A great web site or a great web site design?

Sorry. Should be great web site design. Thanks for correcting me.

talkfreelance.com have a great design. The vertical sidebar is awesome.

Has anyone come across this website The FWA? What do you think about this web site?

I found the web site listed here very interesting and interactive. Almost every web sites are create using Flash software. I always wonder how the designer here do it.

what great web design means to me is something fresh and original. So many "Web 2.0" designs and things. Things i love are the new ajax search on apples site. A typical apple thing, emmence amounts of code for something that just helps like maybe 1ce every 10users, and makes things more simple to use. Clever design is what i also like to see. Currently im working on a huge project called Sidelife, some of the design from that is amazing.

Part 3: http://www.killersites.com/articles/...DontsPart3.htm

something clean and easy to work with and clearly visible

I think thats going to depend on the user and their tastes, and what the site's purpose is.
