Assessment Criteria

What makes a good website?

Design Content

Interactivity

A site I really like

I like this website

because it looks hand

made, not slick and technical like a lot of

sites. This is a nice surprise.

Spot the deliberate mistake

The site is designed to be interactive. The user can make choices and select from

different options. It’s a

bit like a game.

Funny, hand drawn characters

Another (deliberate) mistake?

The aim of the site is to get

you to make a digital work of art. I really like the simple and childlike design

because it contrasts with

the clever content.

A site I really don’t like

There is so much wrong with this site. It’s cluttered,

forces to scroll endlessly and the colours are hideous. Oh, and the

music...?!
