I chose the site of the University of Sto. Tomas because it is my dream school way back then. If your will browse the site you will find more about the campus, the history, the courses offered and so on. The website is www.ust.edu.ph

What the site is all about? The site is all about the University of Sto. Tomas. It features the Headlines in their school, the Calendar of Activities of the school, the History, the Map, Admissions, Academics, Research, Library, etc.

Load Speed: The load speed of the site is some how the usual load. It may take 15 seconds for the homepage and 10 for the links.

Multimedia Function: You have to have a Flash Player to watch the videos they uploaded.

Navigation: The site is for the students, alumnus and for everyone who want to know about the University. The site is very easy to access, you just have to click the things links above.

Site Consistency: The designs of the site are uniformed. When you click the links of Admissions, Academics, Inside UST, Research and links, you will notice the calendar of activities is in the upper left of the page. The pages has a uniformed colors and designs, but there is only one page that is very unlikely, the library. When you click the link a different form of design will appear

Over All rating: the site is good, i like it. But, when i click the link to the library i got disappointed becuase the site does not look like the homepage, although the address is www.ust.edu.ph/library. The site is always upadated to there news events and other activities.

Martha Stewart website

MarthaStewart.com is an educational site, for me at least. People who have no skills can easily learn easy to do recipes and easy to do crafts. For those who already know how to do these things they can enhance their skills using the site tips and tricks. Martha Stewart is a site that discusses from from food to crafts to entertaining etc. Theres so many to learn in this site.

PAGE LAYOUT: The site gives off a fun and homey feel. It uses light and cheerful colours all complementing each other. On the other hand, the site may look a little confusing because there are so many different things on the homepage, one may not know where to start. Everything you need to navigate the site is highlighted properly to the category of use.

SITE FEATURES: This site gives step by step tutorials of anything homemade. It is full of beautiful pictures and how-to videos to make learning easier. It takes tutorials to another level because it gives store addresses and store links for the materials used. There is a daily update for the site on: craft of the day, recipe of the day, etc. There are also monthly updates for example, all time best cookies, crafts for the summer. Also you can watch certain sections of the Martha Stewart show, if ever you missed those parts. There is no need to be a member to be able to browse through this site although being a member has some perks for example, blogs, special recipes and special how to crafts.

SITE CONSISTENCY: All throughout the site the colour and font is consistent. There are some pages that are different but it stays true to the theme of the site.

LOAD SPEED: The load speed is relatively normal. There are pages though that require flash, this makes it longer to load and if your computer does not have flash it will not load at all.

CLARITY OF PURPOSE: Martha Stewart promotes homemade and organic products. She created this site to make her recipes and her homemade projects accessible to her followers.

NAVIGATION: This site was made for users of all ages. Whether you are a frequent user of the net or not. It is very easy to navigate because everything is specified and categorized for the user. In every page the home selections remain on the top of the site so if for example from cooking you want to switch to crafts the button is on the top and you wont need to press the back button to get to home.

CROSS BROWSER COMPATIBILITY: The site is compatible with any web browser.

I give this site a rating of 90 over a hundred. This site was well thought of and easy to use.
