Driving School Websites

While researching the current environment of driving school websites I have made a discovery - most of them aren't that great. The good designs are all for big companies like BSM or RED Driving School, whereas independent companies like the one I'm designing for are being left with designs that look ugly and dated. Here are just a few I've found. More will probably follow.

Gold Seal Driving School - This website looks like it was designed in the 90s, though it's not quite as bad as the site of the actual designer. In fact,the website for 'Website Dynamix' is pretty much the same, only with extra annoying adverts. Gold Seal Driving School severely need to update their site, as it is boring and dated and so is not doing much to advertise their services.

Apple Driving School - This website is much better compared to the last one, using simplistic design with effective use of images. The information is clearly displayed on each page, and there doesn't seem to be any unnecessary elements. It could do with a bit of a revamp to meet current web trends, but overall it's clean, simple and effective, much better than most of the other sites I've looked at.

Safedrive Driving School - This website is quite awful in many ways. The design is cluttered, bombarding the user with information and images, including annoying animated gifs. The school seems to offer services to a large part of the country, but if you want to actually find out where you have to scroll down a long list contained in a small box, not the greatest example of user experience. The homepage is loaded with information, making it very long with more scrolling needed than on the average website.
