2 website evaluations.

The first website i chose was my bank, www.susquehanna.net. First, i looked at the design itself and then walked it through the steps in evaluting the site to see if it actually was a reliable site, The background was light. Text wasn't big at all,very easy reading and the text was center aligned. links were clear and accessible in a couple places. The first set of links going straight across the site, with drop down boxes that identify more specific details of that certain area. You're able to find out anything you want to know about them. Where there located or even being able to contact them on the phone. Kept very simple with the use of two simple colors. Very clear.Very few graphics used. But most of all very straight to the point, no confussion.
The second website i checked out is where my kids love to shop, www.zumiez.com. Background is white. For their links, everything is clearly marked. Text is readable. Some capitals used for some of the links. You're able to find you're way around ok, but the first page i think might have a little too much graphics. The graphics are done up in boxes and ther's alot of white showing through but i just felt as if i was trying to resd everything at one time.
