Website



To get the bad out of the way, this first screenshot is HVCHSMTPA.org.  This is the digital home of the Hopewell Valley Central High School Music and Theater Parents Association.  Quite the mouthful.  This is a poor website firstly, because the information doesn’t fit between the curtains that are the background.  Then if you were to scroll down, you might never get to the end.  Rather than linking material and putting it all up front, you have to scroll all the way down and search through the different colors and fonts to find what you need.


This screenshot is of the General Motors website, GM.com.  It took me a long time to find the website, because I was looking for a truly “perfect” website.  This website gets everything you need in front of you immediately; no scrolling is necessary.  It has a very modern, “metal” feel due to all of the straight edges, the plain font, and the photo of buildings as the background.  As far as functionality goes, the drop-down menus are far from cumbersome and there is a news feed right in the front preaching the gospel of GM.
