Web Sites

     A well-designed website should be easy to navigate, informative, and easy to read. Too much information, graphics, or distracting audio can ruin the effect of a website. There is many ways to set up a website. The main ones are linear, hierachical, and interlinking structures. My personal preference is linear organization. I feel like it is the most straightforward and easiest to follow for the audience. Links enhance a website by allowing the audience to follow new paths to different areas of the site.  The Jamestown, RI Chamber of Commerce website is one that could be redesigned. There are some links that lead to empty pages. The website is http://jamestownrichamber.com. Another website is http://www.havenworks.com. The website is just a jumbled mess and hard to read. Most audience members would probably become frustrated and give up on attempting to use the site.
