Web Designs


Good and Bad Website:

I personally think that what make's a good website is; clarity, flow of colours, useful/ relevant links, picture illustrations and diagrams, sub titles, and precise texts.

What makes a bad website is, too many random links, too many colours and moving images, long blocks of texts, pop ups, bad spelling, no reference information for quotes etc.

Links to the examples of these are below;
Good Web Site; http://www.samlearning.com/

Sam learning is an educational website for young teenagers. It’s designed to help with revision on key stage 1-3 Sats, GCSE's and A-levels. The aim of the websites it useful and informative, the colour design used (red and blue) works well, as they are bright and can in a way to encourage students to fell active in revision. If dull colours were to be used it would make it unappealing and boring to revise. Also it encourages links to help further with revision ' Take The Stress Out Of Mocks Pack'. The links are clear and bold and it is an established website, has a logo etc.

Bad Web Site; http://www.janenorman.co.uk/

The high street fashion store 'Jane Norman' in terms of colour and layout, it does work, but the links and the availability of clothing images is very limited. Each occasion category shows only one out fit. I think fans of this store would like to see the whole collection.
