CONTENT

I know there’s no such thing in the rating 2.5. It’s just from 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. But I just cannot rate it a 2 or 3 because it is not suited, it is not fair, it is just that it has a mixed of qualities from 2 and 3 rates  for this website has a clear purpose but there are some irrelevant details that can be put up bellow if we intend to scroll down. Because upon clicking the Enter button after inputting the URL in the address bar, the site appears, TADA!! .. a bombarded one. Loaded with more details, graphics and users especially those impaired ones might confuse about. So content is good but can be using because of the flying stuffs but can be also consider, it’s Christmas time.

CONTENT ACCURACY

I gave a rate of three for it suits the rubrics description. Almost all the information provided by the student on the web site is accurate and all requirements of the assignment have been meeting.

LAYOUT

The layout is shown above. As you can see above it show a real layout for teens, happiness, and a live image. I gave 2 as my rate for depicts busyness, glitters everywhere and can make a user perplex where to go and the likes. But like I said, it just a trend layout for it is Christmas time so they followed what’s in now. But all in all purpose can be located and good thing about it for they provide icons for everything that users can be directed.

NAVIGATION

I gave a rank of three. Links for navigation are clearly labelled, allow the readers to easily move from a page to related pages (forward and back), and internal links takes the reader where she/he expects to go. A user rarely becomes lost. But there are page when I explore it some details I end up getting lost. Afraid that there is no HOME page button appears so what I did I input url again in the address bar to get back. And in additional, I don’t know it is just my connection that is weakling but there are instances that appear to reload again because of the signal or whatever but still the ‘’BOOKING OF FLIGHT CORNER’’ still there.  As I also interviewed some respondents that were able to book a flight using this website, they also met this case.

LINK (CONTENT)

I gave the perfect score which is 4. It provides good quality in linking, especially they include links for other countries those who didn’t understand English language and when I click it example a Korea trip link, they show not that “loaded” effect. Just a simple type and get-go book a flight. But what I want to suggest is when I click another link, I hope it will not still open on the same page, good if when I click other link, it will go to another link tab.

BACKGROUND

3 is the rate. Well, the ‘’bombarded” effect is just shown in the homepage not the entire links and it is a good shot, really. Exploring other pages, glitters and Christmas graphics seemed to hide. Not a distraction at all to the users.

 COLOR CHOICES

The homepage shows heat colour coding by contrasting yellow and red colour that it gives not the refreshing look but it trends the Christmas time. But it looks so lively and friendly colours. But all in all it gives the balance of it and overall interface for a clean and neat enough to focus on the travel plan. I gave 3.

FONTS

The fonts are consistent, easy to read and point size varies appropriately for headings and text. Use of font styles (italics, bold, underline) is used consistently and improves readability.

GRAPHICS

The homepage is very tidy although it looks like a lot of information included. The main sections on the top of homepage are very clear and self-evident.  I rate it 2 for Graphics are related to the theme/purpose of the site and are of good quality.

SOUNDS

Good thing there is no sounds appear when we enter the airline site, of course. But Music, audio clips and/or sounds are thoughtfully edited and used only where they add to reader understanding of the content or to make the site more accessible to persons with visual handicaps. I gave 4.

SPELLING AND GRAMMAR

You just cannot expect these errors in a certain well-known company sites obviously. I gave it 4. There are no errors in spelling, punctuation or grammar in the final draft of the Web site.
