After I selected the evaluation criteria, it was easy to select
the right websites.To find all the websites about bridal shoes I
went to google.com.ln the search space I typed "wedding shoes,"
and I clicked on the search button.Then I saw hundreds of
websites about bridal shoes.l looked at the top 10 websites and
chose the two websites that fitted my criteria the most. The
reason I chose images as one of my criteria is that pictures help
to evaluate a product. ln fact, one lnternet source stated,"The
right picture or image can instantly convey the fundamental
qualities that make your product or service better than your
competition" ("Effective Website," 2002).The other criterion I
selected is organization because the way the images are
presented and grouped together helps in navigating the website.
The text is also very important in a website because if the
product descriptions are difficult to read, then it is hard to get
the necessary information. Therefore, images, organization and
text are the criteria that helped me choose Website A as the best
website.
ln fact, Website A had very nice images that grabbed my
attention. lmages are very important on a website. I saw shoes of
all kinds, with high heels, medium heels, low heels; sandals, boots
and more.The photographic images were very nice and detailed.
Website B had many photographs too, but some of the images
did not include shoes, and it was confusing to see other products
on the page for shoes. For example, photos of dresses, tiaras and
veils were shown along with the photos of shoes. ln addition,
Website A had a blue background that made the images stand
out and contrasted well with the purple text. On the other hand,
Website B had many colors: green, blue, red, purple and brown.
All the colors distracted me from the images' Also, Website B had
the word NEW that changed colors and made the website look
too busy whereas Website A did not have any scrolling images or
text, so it was easier to focus on the page.
