Evaluating a Website
September 25, 2006 mariejames
The web site i have chosen is www.justlatinsalsa.com
- It is a local salsa company advertising classes and events.
- It downloads fairly quickly on all of the pages.
- The pages are central, users have to scroll down to see the whole page.
- The site has no irrelevent information or pop-ups that appear which is good. The text is clear to see and the navigation is consistant.
- The bad points about the site are: – There is a sentance at the top of each page that moves from side to side, this can be quite hard for visually imparied users, the layout and use of tables could be improved, especially on the FAQ page. The site looks quite plain, not very eye-catching and could use a few more pictures to attract customers.
Overall i feel that the company would benefit more from having a website makeover, not changing the information but just adding more colour, pictures and re-thinking the layout design.

You are spot on about the site, the moving title bar is very distracting. The title “The Perfect Formula For A Great Night Out!” was too small when viewed. That statement appears to be the essence of the site and should have been a lot bigger.

I liked the way that you listed your comments making them easy to follow. I also find myself agreeing with you especially about the moving message which is the sort of thing that makes me click somewhere else almost immediately.

The colour scheme is nice, but that wobbly scrolling text on the top makes my eyes feel funny, it’s a bit too fast. The site looks okay but it’s a bit boring..
