Web site evaluation

I have chosen to analyze a website that is located at www.cal.org/resources/Digest.Flammarion.html. The purpose of this website is to inform visitors about a subject that they are interested in or need to know more about. It is a website that you can go in and look up information about a certain topic. It is similar to an encyclapedia or something similar to that. It could be considered a commercial website because they offer books and other things for the customer to buy. The information that you want to look at online, however, is free. The website is designed for anyone that is interested in the subject of the articles. It may be designed more towards a person that has used the website before, but it is very easy to learn. It also has a very good introductory page, which helps you learn what the site is all about.

There isn’t just one specific author to this website. Many different authors contribute to the many articles that this website contains. The authors also use other websites and authors to contribute to their articles. The works cited are stated at the end of each article. The content of the website is very in depth on most of the subjects. On the specific subject I used the site for, it is very in depth information. The information is not unique to just this website. Most of the information can be found on other websites. The advantage of this website is that it puts information from many other places into one place. The information on this website is current. The level of language that is used in the article on this website is a very high level. This shows that the author is a real authority or has received his information from a real authority. The work that has been done on this article is a very professional job.

This website is designed a little differently than most websites. It does have a business feel but it is designed more towards capturing your brains attention rather than your eye. This is because the site is more of an informative site rather than a buisness site. This site does not use many colors or anything to catch the attention of the veiwer. The author does use a lot of tables and charts which include color. This is done to teach the person a little more about the information being presented in the different articles. The reason that there aren’t many graphics is because this is an informative website and lots of flashy colors and ads are not necessary to accomplich the goal of the site. The biggest things on this site are actually the tables that are included in the text. This suggests to the reader that the information in the tables are important parts to the text and also suggests that the text is the most important part of the site. There is not a lot of color used in this site. I think this is because the authors want to show how important the information in the site is. They don’t use many colors to distract the reader from the actual text. The font is a very small font. I believe this is because there is so much information to be presented. They don’t want to take up too much space with bigger words.

The links that are on this site are actually very useful. At the end of the article I looked at it showed many different links to other websites. These websites were used in the wrinting of this article. The author is showing exactly where to find other information about the subject. The author specifically shows where he got the information used to create his own article. This website is a very well done site for an informative site. It is a very good site if you need to find specific, in-depth information about a certain subject. I found this website and article very useful to me.
