Carefully examine the websites allocated to you on the following document:

Use these four categories to judge each of the websites:

1. visual appeal

2. usability

3. content quality

4. functionality

You’re going to record some data in a
spreadsheet.

On Google Sheets, give a rating for each of the websites in your group.

(You need to give each category a mark out of 10.)

This is what you will be looking for in each category:

1. Visual appeal: look at design & aesthetics, layout, color scheme, and consistency.

2. Usability: look at navigation, ease of use, structure, menu clarity, and accessibility.

3. Content Quality: look at clarity, relevance, accuracy, grammar, and how engaging the text or media is.

4. Functionality: look at all links, features, buttons, and see if everything works as intended.
