Site-Sift.com could give us all a lesson in how to build a really useful resource without all the fanfare and bells and whistles that comes with a lot of sites these days.
Site-Sift is a web directory that has been online since 2004, owned and operated by a small team. The design of the site is simple and clean, with no excess images, flash, or other stuff to get in the way of what it does: provide a quality, hand-edited web directory.
The main site has just a couple of images (the banner and the ’search’ button), and is as easy and pleasurable to navigate with images off as with images on.
Navigating the site is a simple process; there is a search box, or you can choose to drill down through the directory to the category you require using simple textlinks.
The relevance of Site Sifts results are excellent as all submissions are reviewed in person by the team.
Congratulations to the Site Sift team for providing a resource that does exactly what it says on the tin.
