my++assessment

=task= first we had some instructions to make our own practice web page .And after that we had to make our own website and mine was named "Cro-magnon art" and i answered about 6 questions and at the end i think we have to chose a good website.

=What makes a good website ?=

Text Your background does not interrupt the text The text is big enough to read, but not too big Information needs to be clear

Navigation Navigation buttons and bars are easy to understand and use Navigation is consistent throughout web site Navigation buttons and bars provide the visitor with a clue as to where they are, what page of the site they are currently on Frames, if used, are not obtrusive A large site has an index or site map

Links Link colors coordinate with page colors Links are underlined so they are instantly clear to the visitor

General Design Pages download quickly First page and home page fit into 800 x 600 pixel space <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">All of the other pages have the immediate visual impact within 800 x 600 pixels <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Good use of graphic elements (photos, subheads, pull quotes) to break up large areas of text <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Every web page in the site looks like it belongs to the same site; there are repetitive elements that carry throughout the pages

=<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Why do these things make a good website? = <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">These make a good website because they help you and if you have a bad navagation people are never gonna find your website.If you don't have any links people are gonna hate you website.If you don't have any general designs or backrounds it's not going to be very pretty.If you don't have a text to help people so they know what to do then it's not very good.
