Craig's List
http://madison.craigslist.org
The purpose, as well as the intention of this site, is to allow its users to post links about products or services they wish to sell. Also, it is a great site to go to if you are looking for a new job because employers tend to use craig's list as a cheap and affordable way find new employees.
The content is also organized in a well-manored way. The content is divided into categories of what you are looking for as well as a search bar if you happen to not know which category what you are looking for would be in.
The interface is very consistent. There are basically only 3 page styles to navigate from: the main page, the page listing the posts, and the page that is the actual post. They are all also consistent in style and font. There are no outstanding graphics either so it makes the load times a lot quicker for the user.
The navigation is all links so it makes it pretty easy to navigate and not get lost in the website. The intent of each link is obviously stated because you are going to craig's for the obvious reason of buying, selling or looking for a job.
The overall goal of this site is met so I would conclude that this website is an obvious success. Adding anything more to this website would be unnecessary because it would draw away from the overall goal and purpose if this website.
