What makes a good website?

"Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication."
Leonardo da Vinci


What makes a good website? Each person will have a different answer because of personal preference (ie. colors, images, layouts, etc.).

Personally, I enjoy vibrant, beautiful colors, or soft, soothing colors. Simple, but elegant layouts. Lots of eye candy, but not so much to overwhelm the viewing experience. I like to be able to find the information I'm looking for, and navigate around the website with ease. A little bit of flash is acceptable, but I want the ability to skip seeing it each time.

When I'm looking for specific information, and need it quickly, I appreciate when the website loads quickly. If I have some time to spare, or am looking to be inspired, I will wait longer for a website to load.
