stunning isnt it, their work is really good too, shame they are not free font but if i was a professional designer im sure i would use them

[jadinolf]

Hi there
I'm not religious but I have to like the updated Vatican Web site -- I actually think the new guy sounds interesting as well given all the problems that particular organisation has had over the last few years.

In a way good model for web designers -- says what it is, easy to read Background, simple navigation, nice classical design appropriate to the organisation in question.

The Holy See

Cheers

Well for someone else who has wealth this one is REALLY DISAPPOINTING

Welcome to the official website of the British Monarchy

Pictures are good but as a WEBSITE it breaks all the rules and isn't really stunning.

Cheers

As a web designer I completely disagree, the vatican site looks really shit and the Queens site look lovely.

 

[boohbah]

the queens site layout is easy for old and young to navigate , the main users i would imagine.

it has a clean structure and is visually appealing,the use of a slideshow works and the structure is very professional looking,

there is a huge difference between the Vatican site and the Queens site.

thanks for the link,

On the subject of Good and Bad Layout design I recently came across this from the print press that shows how not to do it

So I haven't seen anything else like this, but thought I would share some I found a while ago. site wise, the borders/lists are plain, but the "nodes" setup for the content is pretty cool:
