Good websites and bad websites


GOOD

1. http://www.nationalgeographic.com- I think this is one of my favorite cites. It is divided up into many links that are very easy to fallow. Some of the links include video, photos. links for just teachers, news and one solely for the magazine.

2. http://www.youtube.com- Youtube has defiantly made my life a little easier. Youtube allows people with busy schedules to watch or listen to the news. You can also watch free movies. The filter makes it very simple to locate hard to find videos or even clips of TV shows. It has links on the left side where you can search for music, news and TV shows.

3. http://www.yahoo.com- The homepage is filled with specific news links such as movie, sports, mail, local as well as world news. The front page has links to the top stories and whats trending in the news which is very efficient in finding stories. The yahoo homepage reminds me of am electronic version of a newspaper.

    4.http://www.amazon.com- I use Amazon for many purchases. Their site is so simple when looking for a hard to find item. Amazon also recommends products you may like biased on previous searches. Although I think Amazon is a great site with very easy navigation, some products don't have product descriptions.
    5. http://www.topsmarkets.com/#!prettyPhoto- Top's website has a link to their weekly add which is very helpful to the environment. They also have easy to navigate links at the bottom of their page for things like their Monopoly game, a link for special coupons that you can put on your bonus card.
    6. Dicovery.com (The Discovery Channel)- The set up of the home page is eye appealing. With the names of shows hey have pictures of he characters. They also have a list of whats is airing on TV. The fact they have captions with the video's and clips is extremely helpful for newcomers.

  1. Wedg.com- This cite is very easy to navigate. Also all of their stories have pictures which is also pleasing to the eye.
    8. rockhall.com (rock and roll hall of fame)- They also have pictures with a little description next to them. They also have a link specificity for Rock and Roll inductees.
    9. http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com- Besides having a grate message, this site is filled with information and pictures. I would recommend that each cause get its own web-page so there is not an over load of information.
    10. http://www.epa.gov/- This site is very easy to navigate, all of the information is broken up into smaller categories. It also has buttons at the top to translate the site to a different language.

BAD

1. http://www.buffalostate.edu- The buffalo state web cite is good for information about classes but if you have a particular question some times it requires a lot of searching if you find an answer. The site does however have links right on the front page for events on campus and links to the student accounts for easy access.


2.
http://www.nwf.org- The National Wildlife Federation needs to have more educational information. The site is more dedicated to the organization such as background information and photos and articles from the magazine. It also has a direct link to donate money. The National Wildlife Federation should have news on their main page.

3. http://www.motley.com- I understand that Motley Crue has been around for a long time, I have been a fan for a long time, but their website has an overwhelming amount of text. I thought the graphics suited their style.

4. Marlboro.com- The cite has eye catching photos, mots of which remind me of home. They however could loose a few. The tool bat at the top is also hard to navigate.

  1. http://www.wikipedia.org/- This page is very plan there is no color. There are only 10 links. On the page.
  2. http://www.cosmopolitan.com/- This page could do without the side bars it makes the page too “busy”. I do think there navigation bar is very user friendly.
  3. http://www.freshstep.com/paw-points/- This page is not user friendly. Theirs not enough text to explain anything.
  4. http://www.victoriafrances.es/main.php – Although this site is eye appealing with all the graphics and effects all have a common idea. The site could be set up differently in the fact that instead of having a video to show the artists work they should have a photo gallery of some sort. There is also no information about the artist.
  5. http://www.josiewaverly.com/ - Although the site has good information and good quality pictures. I think the black background and white text is a poor decision.
  6. http://www.anotherchancepetrescue.org/ - This site needs more pictures of animals to be adopted on their front page and limit some of the text.
