Web Site Review #9

The New Rickstones Academy

This is an example of a website that is un-finished. This shows a lack of consistancy and an inability to complete work. The site itself is very neat and tidy however the pages trhat are unfinished may make the user question the credability of the organisation

Web Site Review #8

JJB SPORTS

This website is very attractive - Uses background images to break up large chunks of colour. I love the hover dropdown boxes used to help navigation. Shows professionalism and hogh quality. Bright colourful buttons and images attract attention and possiably keep visitors interested ?

Web Site Review #6

XHTML.org

This website is very very simplistic - very little, if no styling. Possibly HTML and no CSS

Web Site Review #5

XML.com

This website is very simplistic. The content is centered with a white color theme. This makes it very ready to read and follow. Nice design

Web Site Review #4

JavascriptKit

This website is very "busy", upon opening the site there is alot of text to take in, especially for first time viewers. The hyperlink colour ontop of a white background is very hard to read !

Website Review #3

Canvas Graphics

This website is a clear example of basic HTML. Everything is displayed as a long list which i can only assume corresponds to how it was coded. Poor Web design !!

Web Site Review #2

http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nike/language_select/



The Nike website demonstrates the use of flash media presented on a website. I was intrigued with how flash allows the user to select the language they wish the site to be presented in, along with the country they are currently in. The flash portrays the website as very futuristic, which in turn presents the business as a up-to-date, fast paced organisation. The flash itself is extremely simple but gives off a very positive image

Web Site Review: #1

http://www.daaq.net/old/javascript/index.php?page=js+string+object&parent=js+objects

I came across this website today whilst looking for some JavaScript SubString Tutorials.

This website is of extremely poor quality in terms of layout and design, however i believe this is due to the websites purpose of providing educational information. People viewing this website are doing so becuase they wish to learn about Javascript substrings and are therefore focused upon the information rather than the design.

the design itself incorporates a background image which makes the website look very basic and unprofessional. The designs have then opted to use a different background colour per page. This is useful at seporating information making it easier for the reader to process information

Useful Website For Coding

http://www.w3schools.com/

I have come across this website multiple times over the past few years. The purpose of this website is to teach viewers a variety of different coding languages. The website layout is very basic, making it easy to navigate around.

This site can be extremely useful as a recap when coding.

My VARK Test Results


After taking part in a VARK test earlier today I have discovered that I am a fairly average and an all round person when it comes to learning. My results of taking the VARK test illustrated all four areas: Visual, read/write, aural and kinesthetic to be extremely close in terms of the result count. This did not surprise me as I find my learning style adapts to either my frame of mood or to the subject I am focusing on. For example when coding I find reading text books and afterwards physically coding the examples written in the book; however an area such as human biology and the digestive system I tend to use diagrams in order to remember information. I believe I am more willing to read and write when I am engaging in a subject I am interested in. However when it comes to engaging in a subject I have no interest in, I tend to look for shortcuts or ways to do less work but still achieve the same outcome, therefore diagrams are the method use.
