Website's Assessment

 

Website’s Assessment

As of September 2020, there are 1,196,298,727 websites on the Internet. But do all the creators of those sites know how to evaluate their own portal site? Or do all of those sites are created by a human? Many people don't have an idea about how a website can be evaluated, right? So now, I’ll let you know a few things about it. Let’s get started.

Homepage

 A homepage is the first thing you see when you open a website, also called a website's doorstep. Your visitors don’t like a messy web page with so many ads and clickbait viruses, so make sure to secure your website. Choose a color palette that suits all eyes. Always open your website to the public, you never know. The simpler, the better. 

Navigation Map

Navigation Map is where your visitors locate themselves inside your website. You are obligated to make this part very clear or else you’ll confuse your visitors, make sure to give importance to this.

Attractors

Attractors are the so-called online ads. These things can pull visitors onto your website. Make it very persuasive and ensure that when people see it, they will be electronically attracted to your portal site. For your information, these things actually work, especially when you have a talent for persuading people.

 And lastly, the 5 major things to evaluate in a website:

·         Authority – by this trait you can identify who is/are the author of a website. Sometimes, the TLD or top-level domain of a portal site is different from others like .edu, .coop, .biz, .aero. That means that a website represents a company, school, social artist, etc. It is very important to recognize a database so that you can assess it better.

·         Objectivity – by this trait you can observe what the objective of a website is. Web sites can be for academic purposes such as Wikipedia, their intention is to help students in their studies and researchers in their research. It is very important to find the objective of forums because some people visit websites for a significant cause.

·         Accuracy – by this trait you can point out any typographical errors, wrong use in grammar, incorrect spellings on a website. Authors must do proofreading thrice so that they’re sure about the facts they are giving their readers or else they will be criticized and nobody will trust his/her/their work. It is very important to check this even if you are a reader or an author.

·         Currency – this trait you will know if the facts in a website are up-to-date and precise. Authors are committed to ensuring their timeliness in terms of details like articles, population, and weather. It is very important for a reader to be observant and not to completely rely on the website’s data. But the author is the one who really needs to update it and guarantee the currency of a topic or news.

·         Coverage – by this trait you will know the target audience of a website. Some databases are not suitable for young ages and that’s why they have this in an evaluation. Parents really need to ensure their child is unable to open these kinds of websites because it might result in traumas, curiosity about some sexual topic, and as well as cursing. The author must really check if the privacy of their website suits every target audience and if not, certify that the facts suit all ages.

Web sites are not harmful if you analyze them and think outside the box. The authors also have feelings so don’t criticize them harshly and do it for their own good then improve it. Readers must be very careful and observant concerning this kind of sensitive topic because you might misuse it. Always remember to read between the lines in terms of websites’ texts because authors might have some hidden meaning. Don’t forget to THINK before you CLICK.

Be your own Picasso

Image
        Did you know that our life is a canvas? Our experiences are pigmented paints with vibrant colors. If the experience is cheery, the color is bright. If the experience is gloomy or anything opposite of the first one, the color is darker. Last March 2020, an unremovable stain popped up on my canvas. It was so shocking that it took me seven months to take it all in. At first, I didn't want to believe it, and I thought it'll end as quickly as possible. Maybe that was the main reason why being at home every day was so easy for me. In my perspective, it's an advantage because I thought that lockdown would give me the time to rest my mind and body. Little did I know, that situation would last for a year and a half. In the early stage, I was happy because of the suspension, but when it lasted for weeks and months, I suddenly realized, "Oh! People are struggling. So are my family and friends. I hope this will end as soon as possible." Many people have experienced an...
