When I first started using Chinese websites I was a bit confused(疑惑的) by their design. Popular sites like Taobao and Jingdong are very "busy"—they are covered with dozens of links and flashing banners( 横幅广告). They often include a wide variety of bright colors as well, contrasting(形成对比) with the simple colors of most Western websites.
Why are Chinese sites designed this way? Some say that Chinese web design hasn't caught up with the standards of Western web design practices. But I don't think this quite explains_it. Some Chinese sites such as Baidu, are quite clean-looking. You may find the real reasons in the following.
A more convincing(令人信服的) theory has to do with the Chinese language. There are no capital letters or spaces in Chinese writing--foreigners who are used to seeing these things might think that Chinese text looks very crowded.
Another thing that makes Chinese websites look so busy is the large number of links. Some sites might have hundreds of links on their front page.
In addition, there is also a language-related explanation to the phenomenon(现象). It is difficult to type Chinese characters on a Roman alphabet-based keyboard. You have to type out each character using pinyin, which can be inconvenient. So it's easier to just click the link you want instead of typing what you're looking for. Or perhaps it could just be that sometimes people prefer flashy, busy websites. Browsing(浏览) Jingdong is like stepping into a noisy, brightly-lit street market. In this way, Chinese Internet users might feel right at home when using these sites.
