http://www.longscycle.com/ = The length of the site is very long. It may have benefited form having seperate pages to highlight the different subject areas of the site. The purpose of the site is to sell. With the payment details at the very end of the page, it means that readers would have to read through large amounts of information first. Many people may not read it long enough to see this, and the company are therefore losong potential customers.
Endless lists, too many different colours, use of times new roman instead of arial.
http://www.brown.edu/ = Only one image on the page. Purpose is to promote university. Use of only a sports image may deter those uninterested in sport who may presume the univeristy is driven mainly by sports achievment. Images of study may be more appropriate for an audience whose interest in the university will be based on wanting to gain a degree.
Page also uses times roman, arial may be better. Navigation bar is filled with information. Should be simplified with more linked pages.
However, there is an appropriate use of colours.
