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.
