My reflection for website evaluation

After reading three articles, I have some reflection for them. I think each article gives me some suggestions or ideas to evaluation the websites, and they have a same goal- to make your website is better or the best. And I will summarize each article in the following content:

　＊Practical Consideration, this article describes not only website evaluation but also many points of view about integrating internet and education. It states about the process of the schools integrate the curricula with the internet, the relative between teachers and internet, something about selecting the material from internet for students, and the criteria of a reference of website evaluation, SCAD checklist-Source Evaluation, Contents, Access, Design- I think it is more specialized and perfect reference of website evaluation and it is more appropriate to bigger website such as the websites of schools, big enterprises or government.
　＊Website Evaluation-Eight Tips, this article describes eight easy tips-Reiterate the Goals and Purpose of the Site, Take an inventory, Start a spreadsheet or list, Eliminate Broken Links, Clean up Dirty or Distorted Graphics, Check your colors and Fonts, Update Your Information and Take Out the Trash- to make your website in tip-top shape. I think it is appropriate to small websites like the personal website. And I prefer to this one, “Website Evaluation- Eight Tips”,because I think it is more appropriate for me because in my small website are there a lot of evaluated items and it is easy to realize his content. Those are really basic items of website evaluation.
　＊Website Evaluation Methods, this article describes four phases for website evaluation-Conceptualization, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation- and after describing someone's paper to suppose his thought, the author show his ideas-first, to realize users interact with the computer and what effects about the structure and design of the website the users have; second, to examine the design over and over again; finally, to increase the coat of the website. I think the state of this website is abstract and just tell us some big directions to do website evaluation. It can give more practical examples to explain his thought and that will make us to realize his thought easily.

Before contacting about website evaluation, I don’t really know that we must to evaluate our website and don’t know our website will have what kinds of problems and sometime we just care about the appearance of the websites and didn’t care to the content of the website. To update, check anything of the website; to take out broken and unimportant things is to make your visitors of website realizing the main ideas or purposes of the website. Make sure all about your website can work perfectly.

Evaluation of My Own Website

I think my website is too common. I think I should make my website more interaction by JavaScript. I hope I can make my webpage more specialization but I don’t know how to improve. My website’s download time is a little bit slow, because I put too many pictures. My background of website can’t reveal on this computer, I think I must to check what’s wrong about my website.

Evaluation of Ernie's Website

I think your website can add some interesting things to be livelier. When I browse you website, I feel confused about it. Your contents of website have some mistakes about links from page to page and you should give some descriptions for your links about learning and change title bar of the website, don’t reveal新網頁1, I think you can make it more personal. His contact me can’t link, you can check it what’s wrong. You can take more much time to refer some book of design website to improve you skill of design a website.
