...Analyzing a Website Michael Buggs IT/236 3/10/2013 Daniel Liu Analyzing a Website The website I will analyze is www.footlocker.com. The homepage is a little cluttered with too much information on the homepage. The fonts and color schemes are great because they used a black or dark grayish wood floor background. Every link they have on the homepage when you scroll over it has submenus to choose from which is awesome. As you make you way further down the homepage there are videos you can watch, see what’s trending on Facebook, they even have a place where you can sign up to win a scholarship for college. There are things that I like about this site. The first thing I like about this site is that you can customize certain shoes to your liking. For instance you can pick the new Kobe Bryant shoes (Kobe 8) and change the color of the shoes from the heel to the tongue of the shoe and even change the shoe strings before you order them. Another thing I like about www.footlocker.com is that you have a lot of shoes to choose from. They have everything covered from infants to grown people. When you select a submenu you want to go to they have options on the left side of the screen so you can narrow your choices down from prices, size, colors, and even how wide you want your shoe. I also like when you are looking for a shoe you can see how many shoes you want to see on the page at one time. It is 60, 90, or 120 items per page you can view. They way they used the fonts and color schemes...

... As the world of technology progresses every day, having a website has become crucial for businesses and schools. “With costs being extremely low at the entry level, it's becoming difficult to imagine a reason for any company of any size not to have a website.” [1] There are multiple benefits of having a website such as: save time and cost, increase sales, services, and accessibility, higher credibility, and so forth. For this research paper I will be analyzing six web pages. Based on the e-business I’m creating, three business pages I’m reviewing are: Essay Lab, Smart Writing Services and Ninja Essays. The remaining three web sites are: Suffolk Community College, Nassau Community College and Dr. Ebrahimi’s website. To begin with, Essay Lab is one of the three writing service businesses I’ve selected. The home page of this particular business is informative and gives a good idea of what the business is about and why would a person need to use their service. However, I feel more information to support their business could be provided. Another issue is the content is not direct to the point; instead it drags on causing lack of interest to the reader. Stating live chat availability and not actually providing it is another problem with the website which fails to meet the 7x2C standard of ‘Completeness and Coverage’. On the other hand, the navigation is consistent and effective. The organization of the website as well is intuitive and easy to understand. Although the search...

...Analyzing a Web Page BSHS/352 November 22, 2011 How to Properly Analyze a Web Page At the click of a button, a person is able to search the internet for what he or she needs. In the past 25 years, the internet has hit the largest boom that has yet to be seen on planet earth. The internet is a handy tool that allows a person to access any information he or she desires effortlessly, with little to no cost, depending upon what the person is looking for. The key to using the internet is to understand its purpose and what the site is trying to provide. Not everything that is on the web is legit or trustworthy; this is why it is important to really analyze the website thoroughly before taking too many actions. In today’s paper, I will be analyzing a specific web page and discussing my findings. I will also be discussing the value and relevance of this site to clients or human services agencies. How to Evaluate a Website According to Widener University, there are different ways to evaluate a website. “When evaluating a website, a person should check for: authority, accuracy, currency, and objectivity” (www.widener.com). Websites are generated with several domains such as gov, edu, org and com. Unlike most sources, the internet is unfiltered. If there is any question whether or not the website is legit, then there is a slight chance that it may not be. There is slim to none on the control of what is being posted over the internet, so virtually anyone can create a website...

...Analyzing a Web Page Analyzing a Web Page The website I chose is to evaluate is Community Action Committee known as (knoxcac.org.). This website is about helping the Knox County residence get help that they need by putting the information on their website that will guide them in the right direction for assistance in healthcare, housing, and services for children and seniors. According to Widner University and Wolfram Memorial Library, there are four ways to properly analyze a website to make sure that the information that you are getting is legitimate and credible. The first one is checking the Authority of the website. This means that the website should have it clearly posted the person or persons who are responsible for the information that is posted on the website. There should be a name of the person or group and/or some kind of contact information for that person. On the website I chose there is a specific person listed as the Executive contact of the CAC along with individual names, phone and fax numbers, and email contact for each neighborhood. I did not see a copyright date on the website but all the information concerning the webpage is listed such as address, and phone numbers. The second thing that they talked about was accuracy. Making sure that the information is indeed factual as well as the sources being listed is also very important. Including dates that the information was added to the site is also very important. Looking to make sure that the information...

It is important to find the right steps to shift back into the correct direction. Web sites are produced in order to assist human service workers locate diverse ways and programs for the consumer and patients to which they work with or for. The human services field is composed with all sorts of people with many different issues; no individual is ever turned away. Many individuals discover that getting assistance is an excellent idea but many still believe that it can be a terrible idea. Some believe that it is easier to deal with troubles and concerns by them and that is not a good way of thinking because asking for help can help an individual. The web site that I have researched was the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (www.hhs.gov). I decided to use this website because it deals with many different people with various issues. The government has many different state funded programs and resources which are used to assist those in need. The government is very involved and people may not know that because they do not advertise and make the information aware of like they should. The government wants to make sure that all health option is available to all Americans in need. The purpose of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services web site is to protect the...

...is clear, rational, open-minded, and informed by evidence. Critical thinking is also the mental process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information to reach an answer or conclusion while sustaining judgment. The Critical Thinking Process The steps in the critical thinking process are as following: Remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. These six levels of thinking actual build on each other. Remembering is the first level this action calls for recalling information heard or read. The next step is understanding, once you have remembered what you have read or heard, or seen now you have to make sure you understand it. A great way to master this step is by relating what you already know. Get personal with the information obtained as the more you relate it to things you know the more you will comprehend what you remembered. The third step is applying, this step allows you to put task to practical use so you are applying what you remembered and understood to an actual situation. The forth step is analyzing, after you have applied what you understood now you are able to break down what you heard into component parts to make things clear. Just like a mechanic taking a car apart to explain why your car stops running, you are analyzing what you know. The fifth step in this process is evaluating, this occurs once you...

...105 6 November 2013 Angela White Analyzing Internet Sources The best practices I’ve learned about using the Internet for academic purposes are checking the sources for accuracy. When researching information on the internet using a search engine such as Google, Bing, or Ask one must always check for the accuracy of the websites provided. I have learned the URL can provide information about the website. A URL that ends in edu, org, and gov are usually best to use as a source. However some of those sites can be corrupt also. I have also learned reading the about us can be helpful when wanting to know exactly what a website is about, this can also help to determine if a website is credible or not. Finally I learned to always keep in mind what I am searching for, getting side tracked can cause an oversee of important details. When given a list of sites one should examine the URL for accuracy and bookmark the good sites later reviewing them. One can tell if the information on a website is reputable and worthwhile for a research paper searching for information regarding the topic. If the website charges it’s most likely a waste of time. If the website leads one to other websites with videos and a blog the website is usually a waste of time. Examine the URL for dot gov, edu, or org can also help to eliminate some of the less useful sites. One can also find out if a website is useful or not by checking the synopsis to read what the website will be give one information on and if...
