The five websites I believe to be nicely constructed are Microsoft.com, CNN.com, Foxsports.com, The Smithsonian Institute’s Website and CNet.com

For me a website to be nicely constructed should have the following criteria, a Clear Objective, the website should be simple, and can be navigated easily and also be organized and also proper use of graphics.

Microsoft.com
Microsoft.com is the official website for Microsoft Corporation. This website contains extensive information about the company, for prospective invertors, and other people. It also contains updates for its Software such as Operating Systems, and Office Suites etc. Microsoft.com started in 1994; the entire site was hosted on a single server that handled about a million hits a day. As the Internet expanded, more and more groups at Microsoft began adding content to the Web site. It does not have too many graphics, only when required. The organization of the website is immaculate and it is simple and easy to use.

CNN.com
CNN.com is among the world's leaders in online news and information delivery. Staffed 24 hours, seven days a week by a dedicated staff in CNN's world headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and in bureaus worldwide, CNN.com relies heavily on CNN's global team of almost 4,000 news professionals. CNN.com features the latest multimedia technologies, from live video streaming to audio packages to searchable archives of news features and background information.
