Bi-Weekly Review 3

For my bi-weekly review, I found the 2012 Presidential Candidates website, http://2012.presidential-candidates.org/.

While looking through the website, the navigation seemed easy at first with everything on the side bar or top. It lists the parties and views for the candidates.  They listed everyone who is a declared candidate for the presidential election which does give the viewer an idea about who is running.

The color of the website is very dull. The only thing that stands out on the site is the name of the site at the top which is blue and on the side bar, the Profiles and Issues headings.  The background is gray and really has no texture at all to make the viewers stay on the page.

The site has a lot of information to give the reader, but it is so compacted with different candidates and links, the reader can get lost in the site and not find what they are looking for.  My final project takes the top candidates from the Republicans and Democrats parties along with the Independent candidate and compares them side by side for the reader to get quick information about the candidates.  The reader will be able to see the candidates’ views on tops like health care, abortion, and social security quickly to help them decide on who to vote for in the election in November.  My final project gets the information out there without looking through pages and pages of websites and having the reader getting lost.
