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.

NYFA Critique

Every year, more and more people see the value of education. They finish high school and go on to college. Some of them actually go and try out their chosen campus before deciding to enroll. Most of them however, check the internet.

College or University sites are one of the most accessed websites on the internet. They have to look good and be user-friendly at the same time. A College site has to catch attention and to exude class because it is the gateway of the school to the online world. A website has to have a clear purpose, its content should be easy to understand, and it should be easy to navigate. I found one site and I believe that it is really well made. Well, let's head on to:

The New York Film Academy site!

As you can see, the NYFA has a good website. While it may not look as professionally done as most University websites in the States, I can assure you that it does its job quite perfectly.

The criteria are Form (40%), Content (40%), Speed(10%), and Accessibility(10%).

Form
As you can see, the layout is very easy on the eyes. It has an old school feel with it. The letters are large and easy to read, the colors do not clash, and it has all the basic information about the school at the front page. Meaning that you don't have to go to another page just to find out what the school's address or telephone number is.

Content
Everything is easily accessible through the links on top. Click on Film School Programs and it shows you a page where all the information about the Film courses they offer including a really short syllabus. Click on apply online and you'll even be able to apply online without the fuss. You can even watch sample works(videos) of the students. You can even apply for financial aid online!

Speed
The loading speed of the website is faster than most websites I visit. The high resolution videos even download much faster than YouTube videos. Speed is a huge factor in University/College websites. After all, who wants to browse a really slow website?

Accessibility
I tried accessing this site using 4 different browsers. They all worked fine. None of those "optimized for IE7 only" crap. I tried them on IE7, IE8 beta, Firefox 3, Opera, and Safari. Everything loaded fast and beautifully.

Website Critique on DevianArt.com

Not all artists have the money to make their own art gallery. Not all artists can display and sell their masterpieces to everyone. Internet allows people meet and interact on one cyberspace and DeviantArt.com takes advantage on it. DeviantArt or dA aims to provide artist their own exhibits through their own webpage to show their craft for free. A wide variety and forms of art are displayed in thumbnail images of photography, traditional art, graphic arts, sculpture and even literature. Topics are also subcategorized to organize their archives. Moreover, users’ works can also advertise and sell their work, instead of looking for an art gallery and pay for space.
The DeviantArt Community is free to give comments to anyone’s work. Some give tips, lessons and some give destructive comments. Sometimes these comments are very helpful in enhancing the work of other artist.
DeviantArt used a simple web layout without flash or animated computer software for web design. It is probably the least negative thing about the website. Earthly and basic colors are used to make the images of user’s works pop out making the page user centered. On the DeviantArt homepage, different artworks are displayed with the title and the category it is under. This gallery is categorized by the newest or the most popular. It also can be filtered by the most popular of all time, in one week, one month, etc.
All artworks have different categories so they can also be filtered. If a viewer is looking for photography only, a click on the left side menu bar will filter only the photography section. Under the the photography section, it is divided into nature, animals, surreal, etc. DeviantArt makes it easier for viewers to search quickly.
Besides a user homepage, several features are also offered by DeviantArt. Users can also shop, chat with the DeviantArt Community etc. These icons can be found on top of the webpage. Quick navigation is easy through features. Navigating on artworks is difficult. There are so many categories to choose from so viewers do not know where to start.
Homepage loading is fast as well as the entire site, loading the full resolution of images sometimes takes time.
DeviantArt makes artist more confident with their craft and passion. Chances are given to those who aspire.

A website critique on "kidsknowit.com"

www.kidsknowit.com

I found the design of Kidknowit.com to be clean and, given the significant amount of information it provides, relatively simple. In general, the text and image graphics helped me to understand information, as well as the navigation links.. I found that colors were used skillfully to aid in navigation and organization. Appropriately, font size decreases as categories become more and more specific.The font in the content descriptions is big and bright, after I had been reading on the site for a while, It distracted me. But overall I found the design of the site very attractive.

Primary Purpose of the Site
The primary purpose of kidknowit.com is to provide children around the world with an absolutely free educational resource.

Primary Audience of the Site
Its stated primarily audience are teachers, parents, and home schoolers.

Update of contents
It clearly stated at the bottom of the site that “The KidsKnowIt Network we provide accurate, updated, and fun information for you and your student.”

Contact Person
At the bottom of the home page there is a linked "contact us" a user can ask question via email and will be given a response as soon as possible.

Speed of hompage Loading
The page loaded quickly, with graphics and the sounds.

Heroin content
For me its heroin appeal is the talking icon.

How long did it take to understand the navigation?
It didn’t took me long to understand the navigation especially its designed for kids. The only thing that I had a little difficulty is going back to the portal(the main hompage) then I realise that I just have to click the “kids know network icon”

Did a click ever take you somewhere you didn't expect to go?
Nope it always take me were I want to go and the structture of were you click is like a step by step procedure. “spoon feeding”

Are there enough links for both forward and backward movement? Did you ever get stuck on a page?

Yes the first time I used it I got stuck. Due to the reason that it have so many hompage. I couldn’t go back to the main homepage or what you call the portal.

How is the site organized overall?
Yes it is all overall oraganized. There a place to the different sites. And had enough spacing that the icons don’t scramble up.

How does multimedia (graphics, sound, and video) function on this site?
It doesn’t require you to install any flash player. The loading of music , graphics and videos are fsta. No interruptions.

OVERALL RATING
Its amazing how fast the homepage loads. Because from the homepage have mucis,talking icons and moving pictures..
Other pages also loads fast enough for users not to get bored.
The site is very easy to be identified right at the top of the site with big font it is stating that “The totally free childrens network”.
It does not focus on one topic that’s why it’s a little bit confusing but it also gives the user a wide variety of other subjects.
There is no roadblocks or dead ends in this site.
The fact that it is for kids it is very simple.
The navigation is clear and consistent.
It very obvious.
The site have the proper look and portray the proper image that the kids would love.
As for me my first impression to the site is very nice. Me as an teen were fond of the colors and images that was used. it very pleasing to the eye it really caught my attention.
There is no misuse of design all of it has its purpose. That is to entertain.
Best of all Compatible to all kinds of browser
