As Smashing Magazine puts it, “most college websites are horribly designed,” and I’d have to agree; but I’m also proud to say that my alma mater, Ball State University, made Smashing’s list of beautifully designed higher-education websites. I’m not really sure if the sites are listed in any particular order, but because Ball State’s pops up second, I’ll call it second place.

“Ball State University uses a sophisticated color scheme and typography combined with plenty of negative space.”
