This page is cluttered, containing far too much information. In addition, the page is not chunked effectively. As a result, the reader’s eyes don’t know where to focus. Would you look forward to using these instructions to assemble a cabinet?

This page is well designed, containing an appropriate amount of information presented in a simple two-column format. Notice the effective use of white space and the horizontal rules separating the steps.
