One website I have been spending a stupid amount of time on is cookie clicker. What makes this site interesting is that it is a game and a website all wrapped up in one. The goal is to take over the universe with cookies and grandmothers. The design is simple yet intuitive with the links to social media and others being small and at the top. With the rest of the game taking up not that much space either. The game is meant to be left open and forgotten about at times. So neat features were added to keep the processing demand of the website to a minimum if needed. My only complaints are that there are no sounds effects or music. As well the side scrolling bars are annoying for navigation. After reading the 10 principles of web effective design I have to say the web programmer had simplicity down to a T. Although the site seems finished it has not been updated for a year, but in a recent update it does aromatically change for some holiday seasons. Overall in my opinion very few flaws with the site overall. Check it out if you enjoy cookies or sweet grandmothers. Cookie Clicker link
