Weixi Yen's point re: a better contest ("design a good page with 20
ads on it of varying sizes, and still make it usable") can be taken
further.To me, an interesting challenge in a UX contest to "redesign godaddy.com" would be defining the requirements in any realistic way. What are the criteria for "good" and "usable" for a site like godaddy? We are missing information from interviews with the businesspeople, who would hopefully make themselves available at the start of a successful project. We do have clues from Robert Hoekman Jr regarding the company's business model (low prices and customer service are the the 1st & 2nd priorities). We can speculate from the interface itself what products the people who are in charge consider important. How could the winning design be a "major service to the public" if it were never implemented? As a tutorial? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
