Web Site Analysis:   Skip to HTML Site Directions
    Analyze the page listed below for the date given, and, in a Microsoft Word file (saved as Warm-up.doc), enter the date and the URL of the web site.  Then, tell me what is good and bad about this site.  I expect to have at least 5 items that are good or bad about the site assigned, either in bulleted or numbered format.  Be specific with your praise or criticism, not just "I like the color."  Tell me why you like the colors and what color it is!  I should be able to tell from your comments that you noticed details on this site.  Tell me how to improve the site, if you can!  Do not repeat the same comments for more than one site.   If the comments are specific, this should not  be a problem.

Look for:

bullet Ease of navigation
bullet Links that don't work
bullet Attractive/bad colors and layout
bullet Graphics that show up, with reasonably small file size
bullet Easy to find information you are looking for
bullet Readability of text
bullet Good contrast
bullet Nice alignment and layout
bullet Adequate stimulation with animation and/or sound, but not too much!
bullet What did they include that was great, and what did they omit that was needed?
bullet Be specific, and give suggestions on how it could be improved in order to insure credit for each of the 5 items you list.
bullet Credibility and accuracy of information (Is there content worth returning for?)
bullet Recently updated
bullet Remember, you can get extra credit for submitting a site that is used for evaluation.  At first, look for really poorly done web sites.

2007-8 HTML Web Site Evaluations:

Start a new Word file and save to your Assignment folder of your Z drive as WebsiteEvals-HTML.  View, Header and Footer and add your heading information.  You will evaluate design and functionality of these web sites done in HTML.  Some students did really good work and this was not terribly hard for them.  Others did the best they could and you might not realize it.  Some links and images will not work because students did not use "relative references."  If there was a reference in the HTML to the name of their directory (folder) or Z, this may cause images or links not to work.  Check out the HTML and try to diagnose the problem if things don't work the way you think they should. 

You will be assigned specific sites (see chart below) to evaluate within a specific class folder at \\Bwood_tech\web_mastering\2007 HTML Sites.  These students will be given your evaluations, without your name!  You will be graded on your evaluation, and be sure you keep them polite and tactful.  A comment like "This web site really stinks!" or "Great job!"  does not count as a specific good or bad comment on the site will not help your grade.  Be specific and find something nice to say about every site. If you repeat a comment, it is not specific.  Give constructive criticism and ways to improve the site.  You must include at least 5 specific comments on each site, letting me and the student know you noticed details.  You should evaluate things such as those listed below:

Navigation - Does it show effort?  Is it logical?  Does it work well?
Colors - Do the colors of buttons, banners, background, etc. work well together? Seem a bit drab? Clash?
Layout - Does the layout show effort?  Did they use space well with tables or frames?
Graphics - Do all graphics show up? Are they sized well?  Are all graphics reasonable file size (to help download time) - 100 kb or less?  Do some images need to be cropped, lightened, or is the quality poor?
Text - Easy to read?  Is the body text too fancy?  Too large or small?  Do titles contrast with body text (different color, larger or bolder font)?
Design Elements - Is there consistency?  Balance?  Not too much white space? 
Stimulating - Adequate stimulation with animation and/or sound, but not too much?
What did they include that was great, and what did they omit that was needed?
Content - Is information adequate?  Is it current?  Is it interesting?  Are there an adequate number of pictures?
Credibility and accuracy of information (Is there content worth returning for?)
Be specific, and give suggestions on how it could be improved in order to insure credit for each of the 5 items you list.

Above each evaluation, paste the path from your browser window once you opened each assigned page. You will be evaluating 2 sites per day. Leave about 6 blank lines between each student site you evaluate and make sure there are no student evaluations which end up printing on separate pages, when you complete this and print.
