Web Critique Assessment

Tomas Grinius

I picked

http://www.skatevideosite.com

it’s a skateboarding site that contains skate videos and forums for skaters all over the world

User-Centric Design:

It’s a skateboarder site where you can watch skate videos,get the latest news and partisipate in forum discutions

It’s very easy to navigate and to know where everything is.

You can become a member of the site and edit your profile and background.

It’s a very friendly site and there is just so much to do!

The website also offers you to upload your own pictures and videos.

So you can get involved and have a lot of fun.

The site will moslty be visited by skateboarders becouse it offers them many things that relate to their hobby-skating!!

White Space:

This site has a lot of white space which makes it look very simplistic.

The site itself has a lot of content but it’s very easy to use becouse it’s well laid out

The macro white space is well made as well becouse it’s very easy to read

And not only the homepage has a lot of white space.if you click somewhere else the page will still look simplistic and eye pleasing!

Very well made!!

Layout:

The page might not have cool boxes but it’s laid out so well that it’s very comfortable to use.everything is easy to find.all the important information

Is at the top which is easyer to find what you are looking for.

A menu bar is at the top whitch will easily help you navigate through the page

Colour:

The good thing about this website is you can edit it to your taste.change the background colours and images which makes the page very attractive.

The choise of colour is wide and the default colours are good and help to disinct what is more important

Simplicity:

Probably the best thing about the page is it’s simplicity.

It is very easy to use and go where you want.it’s clear where everything is

And it’s impossible to get lost or confused.

The font used is very simple which also adds the sence of ease to the page.
but the page is very good.

I would rate this page 5 out of 5 =)
