Introduction
The time has flown by and the ending of this course has arrived. Over the past nine weeks I have enjoyed learning how to work and build a site in the Dreamweaver program. Even though only the basics were taught during this course, it is enough to get familiar with the program. For the final project in this course we are told to choose a website to evaluate so I have decided to choose a website that is similar to one I may in the near future want to build for myself and my products.
Site Reviewed
The website I have chosen to evaluate is named Digital Scrap Designs located at http://digitalscrapdesigns.com. The products they have for sale can be use in most projects, crafts, and hobbies. One example of how to use these digital graphics can be used is in scrapbook designs and this site has plenty to help enhance your photographs and make them fun.
Evaluation of Current Design
When first visiting the website Digital Scrap Designs visitors may see the simplicity in the style but still feel a little bit overwhelmed with all the products and links that are located on the home page. There are links provided on the left side for the artists who have their products on the site for sale. The page also provides any sales that are going on by the various artists at the time of the website visit. The home page is displaying several kits similar in nature, such as things you may find on a farm, things in a bakery, variety of digital papers styles, several Christmas, Halloween and Valentines Day digital graphics kits.
Pros
The owner of the site allows other creators to place their items on the site and sell them for a small percentage. It is a great way for creators to get traffic to their products that they may not otherwise ge...

Conclusion
Overall, I would have to say the website I have chosen to evaluate fullfills all it has intended to do. It does look professional and I believe most people would feel comfortable making their purchases from this site. However, the recommendations I made for this site will be those in which I take into consideration when I choose to make my own website.

  • Market Analysis: TJ Maxx

    While there are services similar to ours – such as try.com – when a customer shops online they are not choosing between services that allow them to try clothes on online. Our service is valued in the context of their total shopping experience, not as the end-all, or in other words the appeal of our product to them is not simply that they can try on clothes when shopping online, but that in trying on clothes when shopping online they can be more sure of as to whether or not the clothes will look or feel right, enhancing their total shopping experience. Therefore, in evaluating our impact on customers, our competitors will be viewed as other ecommerce websites (against us as the totality of TJX’s ecommerce and in particular how we enhance the value of

    Even though this is a personal website, it is too much going on. The site is not appealing nor professional. The owner of the site is advertising that she will come to an event to speak on liberty issues. You must read the entire page to find that information. Unfortunately, I don’t believe the first impression of the website will produce potential customers. If this website reflects her company views or mission, I doubt if anyone will take her seriously.

  • Evaluating A Website On Web Resources

    1087 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are five different criteria that should always be met when it comes to evaluating a website. These criteria’s include accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency, and coverage (“Criteria Used in Evaluating Web Resources”, 2014). Accuracy is deciphering who is hosting the website, if the website has stated the purpose and audience, and if the information on the site is reliable. A good way to check if the information can be trusted is to compare the facts found on the website with other information and facts found from other internet or print sources. Authority is verifying that the author of the website is real, because if the author is real then the information can usually be trusted as well (“Criteria Used in Evaluating Web Resources”, 2014).  To check the authority of a site, the page should be examined for information about the author, note if anyone else has contributed to the website, check for contact information, and see if the author has created other websites with factual information. It is a good sign if there is contact information for the author, because it means someone is taking credit for the information on the page (“Criteria Used in Evaluating Web Resources”, 2014). If someone is taking credit, there is a better chance that the information can be trusted because the author would not want a bad reputation and to be held accountable for sharing false information. The objectivity of a website is deciding if the website is trying to sway the reader’s opinion, and if it is biased. If the advertisements on the site are being supplied by the author of the site, then there is a good chance the page is biased. There should be no bias or opinion located on a site that is supposed to supply factual information (“Criter...

  • The Importance Of Graphic Design

    1586 Words  | 4 Pages

    Many do not consider where images they see daily come from. A person can see thousands of different designs in their daily lives; these designs vary on where they are placed. A design on a shirt, an image on a billboard, or even the cover of a magazine all share something in common with one another. These items all had once been on the computer screen or on a piece of paper, designed by an artist known as a graphic designer. Graphic design is a steadily growing occupation in this day as the media has a need for original and creative designs on things like packaging or the covers of magazines. This occupation has grown over the years but still shares the basic components it once started with. Despite these tremendous amounts of growth,

The big plus for this website is the forum dialog section where users can communicate to each other by sending messages in the context of the digital camera. The third website has the simplest looks of the three. Two best features of this are the active buyer’s guide (these virtual sales assistants give the best product recommendations based on one’s specific needs and uses) and message boards which is very similar to the megapixel’s user forum. One couldn’t say if one of the three is the best since they complimented each other very well.
