Homework 6 Unit 34
To achieve M3 and D2, you have to assess another students
website. To do this, you will need plans for how to assess a website.
This task DOES NOT require you to assess another website. This
task requires you to PLAN how you will assess a website.
1) Explain why it is important to assess a website: Its
important to asses a website because it is important to judge its
accuracy and to establish that the information comes from a
reliable and appropriate source. Majority website has its target
audience so its important that whatever audience theyre targeting
its vital that they get the message across rightly.
We also need to assess the reliability of the website, whether the
information provided is indeed reliable or not. Furthermore we need
to analyse whether the information provide is legitimate, it matches
the same information that we were looking for. E.g.: Youre looking
for information about world tallest building so you come across a
page which has information but you think its unreliable so you go
to another page.
Another thing is accuracy, to be able to assess the website you
would look for grammar, spelling, punctuality etc. if the website
doesnt lack any of these then you can assume that the website is
accurate and reliable. If the website does lack any of the following
then youre less likely to get information from that website and
would rather go to a website with more accurate text.
background of your page is white and you have writing in the middle then it will
or will not attract people to go on your website.
Fonts and graphics Serif or sans serif: I have picked fonts and graphics
Serif or sans serif as one of my visual appeal features because depending on
your website and who you are trying to target most people prefer fancy writing
whilst other prefer just simple writing. Too much fancy writing can put people
off.
Appeal to target group: I have picked appeal to target group as one of my
visual appeal features because the target audience is the type of people you
are trying to aim it at. If it doesnt attract your target audience then your
website is not going to be successful.
