What makes a great website?
The top things that rank a website as great for me are: 1) responsive design with intuitive usability, 2) engaging, well written, original content, 3) great brand integration presented in a pleasing, minimalist design, 4) a site that has hosting specifications designed around peak traffic for extremely fast page loading.
