Minor Project 17



This image makes me thing when i look at it. This is because even though there is a nav bar, there is a lot of information and it gets very confusing when it comes to what to click. There are many advertisements which makes me thing to what I want to be clicking. The Heading is very bright and I think if there were more of those colors throughout the site be less confusing to me and maybe others.



This is a site that doesnt make me think. Even though there are many advertisements and a lot of information like the Everyday with Rachael Ray site, the nav bar is very bright and big making it easy to know where to go. It is also very organized. You dont think to think much to get around the site


What does satisficing mean?
- Choosing not the best option, but one that is alright and does the job.

Name a convention in web design that is your "friend" explain why.
- Tool bars, no matter what kind. They make it easy to find what you are looking for because they are most of the time very organized by organizing pages in the same topics in groups.

Do you agree that making choices mindless makes a site easy to use?
-Yes, when you need to think to much to figure out how to use the site and where to find information for the site, it is more often that the user will go to another site to find there information. When it is easily organized, you dont need to think much to get around and the user will most likely stay on the site.

Omit needless words. Why?
-You do not want there to be too much information on the site. The more information the harder it is to find what you are looking for on the site.

Happy talk must die. Why?
- Happy talk serves not purpose to the site, and just distracts the user of the site.

Instructions must die. Why?
-People mostly never read directions, and try to figure out how to do things on there own because it is easier that way and takes up less time.
