By performing an in-depth evaluation of the following websites: Website 1: https://www.rebelsport.com.au Website 2: https://www.nickscali.com.au/ Upon the completion of the task, you are to provide a formal report documenting your critical evaluation of the two websites. The report should draw particular attention to the interactive aspects and user interface design of the website. Support your critique with appropriate HCI design and evaluation principles as described in Chapter 1, 2, and 4 of your textbook (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2010). In your report you should: 1. Provide an overview and description of the nominated websites. 2. Identify and elaborate the main features of the websites, drawing on your first impression of the websites, accessibility, navigation, homepage, etc. (Refer to Powell,T 2002. Web Design: The Complete Reference, 2nd Ed, Chapter 5, http://webdesignref.com/chapters/ch05.htm) 3. Compare and contrast the two websites against the HCI design principles and usability principles. 4. Based on your critique and analysis in items (1) to (3) above, provide a recommendation on how the websites should be improved. Conversely, if further improvement is not required, then provide the reasons why that this is the case. PLEASE NOTE: Except for item (4) of the above, all assertions relating to user interface design principles (e.g. statements like ‘blue text on red background is a poor colour combination’) must be supported by references or critical observation. You can cite additional scholarly references other than the textbook. (Note: Do not use Wikipedia as a source of reference). You can also snapshot the parts you evaluate from the site and show it in your report for more clarity evidence. And Figures Tables and or diagrams can be added as needed. h&ps://www.bcf.com.au/ h&ps://www.decibullz.com/ text book.

1. Introduction
Making critical analysis of any provided website and providing recommendations for improvements based on certain observations required effective knowledge of HCI principles. With effective interface designs, easy HCI implementation can be carried out. The consistency, frequently used shortcuts, feedback providing facility, easy error handling, action reversal, and effective utilization of memory shows the HCI designing principles. In this presented report, the deep analysis of provided websites is carried out on bases of HCI principles. The interactive system development with effective use of HCI principles will always lead to effective interface designs for the website.
2. Discussion on provided websites
Discussion on: Website 1: https://www.bcf.com.au
