Overall
Impression ( Possible Deductions = - 0 to - 12
) | |||
|
|
- 8 | |
If your site does
not exhibit originality. Do you have something I might not have
seen before? Do
you have original graphics? Do you have a unique, or eye catching
presentation? If your site does
not exhibit lots of thought and planning throughout all the site
building processes.
You have met all the criteria; now how does it all fit together for
me? Does it flow? Did I
have to search hard to find the things I was looking for in our
criteria? If your site does
not give me a reason to return. Do you have anything for your
visitors to take? Have
you made it obvious to me that there will be updates to warrant a
return visit? Do you have any
resources that are supportive of your site theme or places for your
visitors to go for more
information? | |||
