Rosario_bad link 3

http://pinkmonkey.com/This site has horrible information architecture. I had one of my friends go on the website to see if he could figure out how to work it. As, expected, he had no idea what to click to get to the main site from the home page and so on and so forth. This is a website that you have to guess at things to try to get to what you are looking for. And the bad thing is that there is no easy way of getting back to where you started.

http://www.rebrand.com/2009-winners-brands This link has great information architecture because it is really easy to manage through the menu bar. Since the menu bar appears on the top of every page, it is easy to navigate yourself back through the page. A great feature is that whenever you click on a link of the page you are looking at, another menu bar appears on the left. This bar shows you the steps you took to get where you are and it allows you to click on any of the pervious pages you were on so its easy to go back to something you were looking at. One last feature that helps out the navigation is that at the bottom of the page there is a “go back” button that get you back where you were too.

http://www.lookatbook.com-there is too much going on on this page-because there is no harmony  in this page it is slow aT loading because more things are presented to you than what you need-the menu is also not simple or easy to use so the technology is not good for the user 

Good Link week 3_Rosario

http://ml.hoogerbrugge.com -this is good harmony between technology and user because the technology allows the user to navigate the site well-Good because the user goes on the website to play around with the animations and that is all the website does.-good because there is no extra items on the site that you don’t need that will make the sight load slower
