WEB SITE EVALUATIONS
Kim Nealis

The American Institute for Computer Science www.aics.edu

COLOR

The colors that this site uses work very well together. The site is overall very attractive.

GRAPHICS

Nice graphics used. There are not too many. They are mostly in the banners.

ORGANIZATION

The navigation bar is located at the bottom of the screen so you can easily navigate between areas. The format is very easy to follow.

LOAD SPEED

The speed is very rapid considering the large pictures that are in the banners and on top of the pages.

QUALITY

Very professional page. I liked this page. Nicely done.

The Art Institute of Phoenix www.aipx.edu

COLOR

This site followed a general color scheme throughout. Very easy to look at.

GRAPHICS

This site had many pictures of "cool" looking students. Kind of over did it on that.

ORGANIZATION

Good layout! Very easy to follow. There is a navigation bar at the bottom of the pages.

LOAD SPEED

Some pages were quick to load. Others took FOREVER!

QUALITY

The information presented was good. I was a little turned off by the "cool" image that they were trying to portray.

Baylor College of Dentistry www.tambcd.edu

COLOR

The colors are ok. The light blue that they used for the text is hard to read.

GRAPHICS

There are not too many. They are mostly in the banners.

ORGANIZATION

The shared borders on the pages make it easy to navigate throughout the site.

LOAD SPEED

Main page loads fairly quickly. Other pages take longer.

QUALITY

Overall, there is too much typed information on this site, and the color of text is a problem.

The Boston Architectural Center www.the-bac.edu

COLOR

This page is very bright and busy.

QUALITY

This page is too busy. There is a lot of wasted space. It is neat looking, but I didn't like it overall.

QUALITY

The segments of text are long. Other than that, nice page.

The California Institute of Technology www.caltech.edu

ORGANIZATION

Once you are in a section you are stuck. Have to go back home to get around.
