So What does perfect mean?
(From Smashing Magazine , 11 Almost Perfect Business Layouts)
Different tastes result in different understandings of a perfect layout. The examples we've selected stand out, because
they are clean. It concerns both code, text and graphics.
they have a balanced layout, all site elements have their own place and are consistently placed on all pages
they pay attention to small details; the smallest things such as link colors and headings are well thought-out
they make use of white space, which places special emphasis on design and content
they use modern design elements, but remain moderate, without extreme use of graphics
they use intuitive color schemes and high contrasts to make sure the legibility of the text and the perception of visual elements are optimal
Not all of them are gorgeous, but they don't have to. All of them are descriptive and they work, and that's what really matters.
