Website Design Analysis
Directions:
In groups, analyze the website below associated with your group number. Consider the design choices that were made and how well they follow universal document design (or accessibility/usability frameworks). Answer the following questions and submit your responses to Canvas once completed.
Group 1 Links to an external site.
Group 2 Links to an external site.
Group 3 Links to an external site.
Group 4 Links to an external site.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Links to an external site.
Questions:
- Who is in your group?
- Which website did you analyze?
- What is the purpose of the website? How can you tell?
- Who is the audience of the website? How can you tell?
- Outline a few of the design choices that were made (consider things like: proximity, color, contrast, emphasis, repetition, balance, alignment, typography, etc.).
- Is the website available for universal audiences? Whose knowledge and experiences are privileged?
- Is the website available in a variety of formats (can you change design elements)? Does it retain accessibility in different formats?
- Does the website use headings and lists? Are they repeated and consistent?
- Does all text and visual elements provide the reader with relevant information or visual cues?
- Is important information rephrased for emphasis and clarity? Are there design choices that point to significant or relevant information to the reader?
- Is the website easy on the eyes by sufficient color contrast and font choice? Are large blocks of text chunked by using white space? Is the website scannable, enabling readers to access information quickly?
- What else stand out to you about the design of the website (considering universal document design frameworks)?
- Do you consider this website to be well-designed for a wide variety of users? Why or why not?
