Good and Bad website design

I was asked to research websites to find which ones were designed well.
I like the design of this one, I like the reflections and the way it's laid out so you can drag across the panes to make them rotate. The background is quite subtle, which draws the attention to the bright colours in the foreground.

This website has a straightforward design that is logically laid out and is easy to navigate. This site has a tan background and the panels are dark red and brown, which draws attention to the text and pictures within them.

Here on this site there are three columns of text. It feels like an old, cheap design. The font used for the title looks like a graffiti tag and is hard to read. I feel this is a mediocre design.

 The designer of this site tried to incorporate 3D effects, it's hard to say how the effect looks as I didn't have any 3d glasses with me when I found it. It looks like a floating land mass with various features upon it.

Even though this site looks fancy, it doesn't make it clear who's site it is or what they do. When the sections of the brain are moused over they flip to show the other side but then nothing happens.

This website is the worst site I found during my research; there aren't any links, the photos are poor and the tiled background is distracting. It's generally ugly, especially the way the red colouring bleeds into everything else. This is a site about ambulances.
