Evaluate the following websites for purpose and design

These 20 sites are commercial, artistic, or educational sites.

Give each website a score of 1-10 (ten meaning the highest score) based on the following:

• Is it easy to read? Is the font too big or too small?
• Are the color combinations pleasing or distracting?
• Is it easy to navigate, i.e., do the links work and do you always know where you are?
• Do graphics add interest and information to the site, or are they too long in downloading, irritating (blinking, the wrong size, etc.) and otherwise annoying?
• Can you tell what the purpose of the site is?
• Is the content worth exploring?
• Do you have an idea of how to improve the site?
