Assignment 5: Site Evaluation and Design
Slow down. Successful site design does not consist
of firing up Dreamweaver, pasting in some cool images, and saving the page.
A thoughtful site will have well organized information along with images that
help the user understand what the site is about. The background image, if there
is one, should not make it difficult to read the text.
There are two parts to this assignment. The first
is to evaluate some sites, and the second is to design your own site.
Site evaluation - you should evaluate 5 sites.Two should be for educational institutions, two for commercial (selling something)
web sites, and one can be anything. For each site, write a paragraph that answers
the following quesions:
- Who will use this site?
- What information is on the main page?
- What links are on the main page?
- Are the buttons (clickable areas) clear?
- Are images distracting or useful?
- What are your overall impressions of the page?
- Make a webpage entitled "evaluations.html".
It should have a link to each of the five sites, and each should open
in a new browser
window. (How do you do that?)
