Sometimes a site is cool just because it is. Check out this webconferencing comparisons site. A pretty simple blog in regards to site design. So why do I like it? Cool color changes.

Webinar Faq is a blog about web conferencing. I’m not really into web conferencing though, that is more of my wife’s cup of tea. The cool feature they have on the site though, is located on the top right, and it allows you to easily adjust the sites theme colors with a simple click of the mouse. Don’t like blue? Switch to green or some other color. It’s a great little trick putting your CSS file to good use. The color changes the background, font colors, horizontal lines, and everything.

I see this feature often for font size, and you would think being a usability guy I would like that. I actually don’t. Just more crud for the user to figure out, and your browser should have the capability to change that feature already. In this case, a simple box with the color you want makes it an “easy figure”. Blogs are usually reading intensive, and in the case of color schemes, having something that works well for your eyes is a huge plus.
