Evaluating your Finished Website

• Will the elements/graphics/gimmicks you used make you successful in reaching your intended audience?
• Does the language or graphic element convey the correct image you want to portray?
• Is the page easy to navigate or will you or your reader get lost easily? Will it be easy for first time Users?
• Will the User have to scroll down the page to find the relevant information? If the homepage is too long, your viewer may lose interest.
• Is the site physically readable? Does the background graphic or color interfere or overpower the text?
• Do the hyperlinks take you to the correct site?
• Is your site interesting and/or unique? Boring?
• How often will you need to update your website?
• Are you SHOUTING TOO MUCH? Are the graphics "in-your-face" and obnoxious?
• Are the text and graphics consistent on the page? Have you mixed "ultra-modern" with "baroque" images/text in your interior design?
• Did you check the spealling and grammmmar?
• Did you include Creation and Update information?
• What do you dislike about your website? How would you change it?
