Talking about good or bad web design in this way only makes sense if it is in the context of what the user expects. The most important part of the quality concept in web design is thus the user’s evaluation of the web design’s success and not the designer’s. Quality in web design is the degree of fulfillment of the user’s expectations.
When developing the website that makes your business run, we need to evaluate web design from a business perspective. However, relying solely on a business perspective of quality is dangerous.
Many websites are build on a concept of quality that relies on what the market demands and what currently works, but to prevent the foundation of our businesses from being pulverized by new competing products, we should rid ourselves from preconceived and esoteric opinions about what quality is. Instead we should evaluate the quality of our work with basis in the users’ mind and with an ignorance of what the market demands.
The key is to evaluate quality with basis in the user’s expectations to how a web design solves his or her needs and then pull down a business perspective, which in turn most likely will make us deviate our design from blindly living up to the users’ expectations.

Well Said. That is teh very reason every thing is user centric or task oriented. There is nothing like a good or bad design in isolation.

That is I think how many static but highly useful websites convert well. It isn’t always about looks but also about the functionality.
