|---|---|---|---|
| www.lordoftherings.net (Holly Bolton) | Moviegoers, fans, and researchers. This is not a business-oriented site. For example, there are no fiscal statistics available. | Inform, entertain, and advertise. | The use of photo’s, sounds, and clear links makes this site to easy to navigate. Information is categorized logically. A greeting loads when the home page loads. The links also have sounds associated with them when the mouse passes over them. This unifies the theme. The color theme and main picture change when the page is reloaded, which generates a feeling of freshness. The entire page is an advertisement for the movie trilogy but the more subtle advertisement is integrated within the pages, such as, if you want view soundtrack information you can click the purchase choice which takes you to Newline cinema’s store. This information is condensed on the secondary navigation bar on the bottom of the page, which does not make the focus on merchandise. You can also get movie times from this page. |
| www.scarysquirrel.org (Meggie Conley) | An audience looking for some weird humor. | To make people laugh and to entertain the easily amused. | Squirrels to a lot of people can be quite goofy, and this site does a great job at providing some much needed squirrel humor for the worlds squirrel lovers. It's not meant to be a serious site with actual facts and information on squirrels. It's objective is simply to amuse, and it does quite a nice job. It contains pictures of different types of squirrels, a history of squirrels, links, cartoons, stories, and much more. This site is frequently updated and it is quite clear that the sites main focus is the squirrel. |
| elfwood.lysator.liu.se (Michelle Girard) | A site for fantasy artwork and writing. | People submit they're artwork and this site makes it available for public viewing. | really like the idea of the site, how it makes artwork available to look at. They have a set up where, on a daily basis, there are different moderator's choice awards that are displayed at the top of the page, which makes it simple to view a few interesting pictures without any searching. They very recently updated the site, changing the entire layout, which has its pros and cons. I like that they added a side bar with a site directory, it's a lot easier than it was. I preferred the old color scheme on the site though, and I don't really care about the writing they put in the middle of the page, it's set up like journal entries. |
