Bad vs. Good

Bad:

http://www.angelfire.com/super/badwebs/

This is labeled as a bad website because of how the title is animated and that you can barely read it on the website. There are many flaws to the website with the background being too busy for the person to concentrate on what’s on the website itself. There are way too many animations for this website. There are way too many advertisements that are not useful for this website.

Good:

http://www.yahoo.com/

This is labeled as a good website because everything is placed evenly. It is also the same font size except the important things that they want to advertise. Yahoo used their white space up evenly and didn’t putt useless stuff in just to fill space. They have everything in the right places and they show consistency in their way of creating this website. All the links are evenly distributed and are working right. There are more words because it’s like a news website and there are some picture’s for the understanding of the words.

Website Readability

One website that I feel that shows examples of easy-to-read text would be my uncle’s website click here to view for yourself, Sol Yoga. I think that there are pictures placed in appropriate places along with text to follow. This is a well rounded and put together website about his yoga company. There are links at the top of the page that can take you to eleven different pages, which keep you informed about Sol Yoga. On his website he even has picture links to keep his company socially connected to websites like FaceBook Twitter and Yelp. I also feel like the color schemes are well chosen and well put together it’s not to over whelming for the eye.

I also came across a website that I felt does not show examples of easy-to-read text it’s a website about Evangel Cathedral. I think that this website is really overwhelming to the eye, everything is moving around and hard to focus on what you’re trying to look at and read. When you click the links on the left side once you enter the website it takes a minute to actually open the links I also feel that this website is not suitable for the general topic of the actual website.

What do you think

The website that I chose for this assignment was weather.com; I would place this website in the ‘good’ category. I picked this website for more than one reason, the first reason was because the setup, to me I think it’s clean an easy to use and simple if you’ve never used it before. Links are clear an easy to navigate with, also they have many options for example you could put your zip code in an get the weather for your city or town and not the whole state.


A website that I see on a frequently basis is my school website, in my own opinion I would have to insist that this website is terrible. For more than enough reasons, when you first enter the website the things I notice are: the picture they put of the school is small and distant it does nothing to attract anyone to this school. The second reason is the empty space on the first page, when you go on a website even a school website it should attract you enough to make you want to explore other pages, and this website does not. Another thing is the links, the words look blurry and smudged like, also where it says “Please select an area of interest” the color makes it a little hard to read and the color is of no help. Lastly when exploring the website every page has text but there is too much white space, I think they should have it neat but everything is centered and to me it just seems sloppy. So these are some of the reasons I picked bptech.org for my bad website.

Pretty Vs. Poopy

When you think of websites you think of them as being clean and informational, that's just what Bing is. When you first enter the site you notice the setup which is very clean. The links are located on the side so you can easily access them. Also the search bar is right there and is helpful when looking up different things. To make it more attractive they have put different images that you can choose from to put as your background on the search engine.

I came across a website that was just horrible all together, Yvettes Bridal. There are many things wrong with this website. The first thing is that there is no set up what so ever. There are graphics and text all over the place. It looks wicked messy and poorly put together. I feel like there is too much going on. When I think of a bridal website I would picture nice, clean, elegant, and fancy. Not flashy, messy, and disorganized. The other things wrong with this website is that it has way to many colors going on and it kind of gives you a headache. I think that this is just a wicked bad website overall.

Ugly Websites

The Transworld website is a much unorganized cluttered looking site. The site has links to videos all in very random places and scattered out like wild fire. When you open it you feel overwhelmed by the size of everything. I had to change the size of the resolution on my browser so i could look at this site without feeling like everything was too big to scan over. All of the links on the sides are very ugly and unnoticeable. That's why I don't like the Transworld website readability very much.

Transworld

I like the Focus Skate Magazine's website. There's a clean navigation bar on the top that looks attractive. The homepage is nice looking; it has a scrolling image in the back that shows different pictures of articles being highlighted for the day. Also, there are many clean links that are easily found and read on the navigation bar. Under the navigation bar, are links to popular videos for the week that are all organized neatly. The contact info is put in a convenient spot where it's easily noticeable as well. When you scroll over the pictures for video links, a description of each of them pulls up that's easily readable because of the font colors on the background it shows. This is an example of a well readable website.

Focus

Puma Vs. Paradise

Puma is one of the most organized and creative websites that I visit frequently. When you first go on the website, you notice the organized format and how everything is clearly visible. The navigation bar is helpful and overall the website is easy to navigate around. The design of the website is very appealing to the eye. All the colors work well with each other and they are not overpowering. It has clear pictures and effects that grab your attention. I personally like the Puma line of clothes, sneakers, and other accessories so I enjoy visiting the website.

On the other hand, I found a terrible website that was very disorganized and confusing. The Hawaiian Isles Coffee website is one of the worst websites that I have visited. It is very disorgainzed and I couldn't figure out what I was even doing. There is no template so there is random items and words everywhere making it hard for me to find what I was looking for, even though I wouldn't buy anything from there. None of the colors of the paragraphs match eachother. The navigation bar was not evenly lined up. I thought that this website was terrible and I think that they should re-make it.
