Evaluating Web Page Designs
Use the guidelines in this module and your own experience to assess business website designs. Find two effective and two ineffective business Web page designs. Assess the sites based on the relationship between the design and the sites’ purposes (and potential audiences). Consider
• Navigation
• Visual hierarchy (the F-shape)
• Clarity
• Colour
• Visuals
• Interactivity
• Font type and size
Bookmark the sites, and record your assessments.
As your instructor directs
a. Choose two or three classmates to create a work group.
b. Use social bookmarking to exchange your Web pages with each other.
c. Comment on your peers’ choices: which pages do you consider well designed and why?
Which pages are poorly designed and why?
d. Together with your team, create a slide-show presentation (maximum five slides) identifying the common design elements your team and you found in the best Web pages.
e. Email your slide presentation to your instructor with a cover memo.
