Assignment 8

Tenet	Good	Bad
1. Believing people care about you and your website.	The webpage is centered and the menu is easy to use.	There is only a picture of me and my information.
2. A man from Mars can't figure out what your website is about in less than four seconds.	My name, picturem and personal information are all displayed.	There is nothing on the main page that let's the user know that this page is for a school assignment.
3. Contrast, dammit.	The font is all darker than the background colors.	The colors are all muted.
4. Using design elements that get in the way the sale.	I'm not selling anything.	No revenue being generated.
5. "My (blog / website / Facebook fan page / Twitter account) is everything."	This website is only one way I am accessible to people.	I could add links to my social networking sites.
6. Have you ever seen another website? Really? Doesn't look like it.	Not too busy or cluttered, and no music that auto plays.	Guilty of being boring, but not too ridiculous.
7. Navigational failure.	There is a way to navigate back to the main page and from the links and hobbies pages, on each page.	On some of the individual assignment pages, there is no link back to the main page on them.
8. Using Mystery Meat Navigation.	The navigation is well marked and easy to use.	None.
9. Site lacks Heroin Content.	I update the menu on top as needed, which is good.	The main page always looks the same, you'd have to scroll through the menu to notice that I added links.
10. Forgetting the purpose of text.	I think I used text appropriately.	Text I used for email and phone could be a bit bolder.
11. Too much material on one page.	Home page is super simplified.	None.
12. Confusing web design with a magic trick.	I think "what you see is what you get", it's a site about me.	The Menu on top does not explain itself, the fact that it is for school.
13. Misusing Flash.	I did not use Flash	No Flash
14. Misunderstanding the use of graphics.	No GIF images.	None.
15. Mystical belief in the power of web standards, usability, table less CSS and HTML 5.	Works on all browsers.	I should add specifications in CSS for each instance of browser and mobile web browsers.
16. JavaScript.	JavaScript is only used for my menu on the home page.	I don't have an alternative way to access the menu functions, if someone has scripting disabled.
