Find a page you think is well-designed. This can be any page you know and visit, or it can be a page you happen upon while surfing something like Cool Homepages (http://coolhomepages.com).
I always go to http://www.nhl.com/
everyday.

NHL is my favorite website cause it shows my favorite things like stats, teams and highlights. It is easy to get around on here and is a good way to learn about hockey. It shows news that is updated hourly and is very informational. This is why i love this site.
