Good and Bad things about websites

We discussed the the pros and cons of websites. First we discussed it in groups and then we did it as a class.

Good things about websites:
  • Loads quickly
  • Has interesting pictures
  • Looks attractive
  • It is set out in a layout that is easy to read
  • Not too colourful
  • Hasn't got too much information together
  • Has a contents table
  • Easy to read
  • The space is well used
  • The text is easy to understand

Bad things about websites

  • Bad language
  • Annoying adverts
  • Too many adverts
  • Too many images
  • Lots of pop-ups
  • Too much information together
  • Size of text is too small
  • The colour scheme is to bright
  • Missing pages or unfinished
  • Has repeating information
  • No table of contents
  • Has viruses

For my website I think I'm going have three or four pages about disasters. Each page will be about a different disaster. The colour scheme will probably be purple, black and red. But when I start to make it, I think I will change the scheme.

Click here for a bad website. It is so colourful and takes along time to load.

Click here for another bad website. It looks bad and the blinking faces are creepy.

This is a good website because it is useful and quite well set out.

What I have learnt from this:

I have learnt that using not too bright colours and about four or five pictures on a website is good because you can read the colours and if you have too many pictures, it will take a long time to load. Also if there is too much text and it is too small, people won't bother reading it and just go to another website.
