Do not refer to your home page as "home." This is uninteresting and should have something a little more original. You may have a navigation bar as well as a home site navigation bar. You may want to create sub groups within your site and navigation bar in order to generate more organization within your hyptertext.
Key word spotting is a technique often used in online reading to locate important and relavant information to your hypertext. 78% of readers claim to be "selective readers" so it is imparative that information is accurate and informative.
A common "F-shape" has been recognized in research therefore the tops and sides of the hypertext should include key words that engage readers. Informative sub headers and beginning of paragraphs should intice readers. Always use active voice in your writing.
1. Is your hypertext easy to navigate?
2. Is your topic easily identifiable?
3. Do you have multiple links that coordinate with your topic?
4. Are there enough key words that will engage your audience?
5. Do your colors have enough contrast and are appealing to your audiences' eyes?

pretty quickly i noticed your navigation bar jumps around a ton. consistancy and predictability are really important for websites, so try to make those stay in the same spot, or at least move in a predictable way. Your site is also physically up in the top left corner, which is good, but it could spread out a little more, and then you can give emphasis to the areas you want to.
ReplyDeleteYour website is easy to read, with contrasting colors. It's good that you put links between your text to make things interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe pages kind of move around a bit (like, on the stealing page, the links are really far apart). Try to be more consistent. I also tried clicking on some of the links but they didn't work.
it was a bit difficult to find the link to your analytical hypertext. But your use of media is nice. Advice i would give you is to add more links and a link back to your homepage (with the highland dancing) on every page. Also, try to utilize the F-shaped patten and make all of your paragraphs to the point, which you have done pretty well at. however, maybe try to break up your paragraphs so that readers are not intimidated by length.
