Not All Italian Websites Look So Bad

Key Facts

Not all Italian websites are poorly designed; some, particularly those by the Ferragamo family, showcase excellent aesthetics and writing.High-end Italian sites like Salvatore Ferragamo and Lungarno Hotels demonstrate how to effectively utilize resources for web design.The author plans to improve their own blog's design, acknowledging its current cluttered state.

At the risk of being accused of being a pot calling a kettle black (Yep, I know this blog is getting rather cluttered), I have to say that after doing a little web based research for my latest project, my Italy is in Italian contemporary art site, I’ve come across some rather good looking, and, generally, well written English sections of Italian websites. Well, a family of them actually.

These sites form part of a mini-network run by the Ferragamo family, of the fashion house “Salvatore Ferragamo”. WIth the possible exception of the Viesca Estate site, all of the others are very slick.

I know they are at the top end of the market, but even so, it’s good to see what can be done. OK, so these people have money, of that there is no doubt, but, to their credit, they appear to know how to spend it rather wisely.

I hope they won’t mind too much, but I’ve stolen the list of links to each of these sites and popped them below, so you can have a quick gander, if you so desire.
