Reviewing a webpage that sucks
Now when we come to this one there are some really bad and poorly laid out sites, I've picked this site (http://www.havenworks.com/) from this site and it's called HavenWorks now when you see this website it's whole layout is just all over the place and hard to read. The purpose for this site is to give a lot of information about lots of different subjects, definitely an information site, it gives plenty of information spread across the whole page. Now it's all around appearance is just not good at all, they've got paragraphs at literally every possible space you could fit them in. This site is mainly based around American politics, therefore quite not necessarily the most ideal site for any users, those interested in politics etc.. The navigation for this site useless, can't find anything too many mixed up categories and not straight forward at all which does not meet the user's needs. This site has a lot of ways to improve the site and to make it easy to navigate, to search and read the text on the site. It could have bigger text to in prove those with eye problems to make it easier for them. Too many brightly coloured combinations which hurts the user's eyes after spending too long on the site. This whole site has columns from the beginning of the site till the end, you don't know where one column starts and the next one ends. It should have less columns which does make it easier to read, instead of columns every possible space available. All in all this site is just no good for purposes, too much information everywhere which really does put anyone off reading it, just too much to look at. I give this site a rating of * star, it's just really really poor

Reviewing a Government Site
My choice of a Government website is the Cornwall County website, (http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/) the purpose of this site is for Government reasons and helps the public with stuff such as advice and benefits, business, commercial and living, so on and so forth. The look of the site looks pretty straight forward with links connected to different pages of information, it has a big and clear search box at the top of the page which allows you to search specific categories. The navigation on this site looks fairly straight forward with clear buttons is separate categories to make it easier to find. It has an A-Z listings guide to narrow down your search and also makes it easier. I would say this site does meet the needs for whoever wants to use it, the Cornwall Council website does have a range of links and information for those who need it.
This site could be improved by changing the font colour to something other than a bright colour as some people with eye sight problems may find it hard to read.
An all round decent sight with a rating of **** stars

Reviewing An Estate Agents
Another website which is an Estate Agents I've reviewed is called Marshall's Independence Agents, (http://www.marshalls-estate-agents.co.uk/) this site is an commercial website with the purpose of selling and providing customers with properties, it's all around appearance is set out pretty well and with pictures of Penzance to attract buyers on it's main page.
It has an easy way of navigating around the site with clear links to different pages of properties for sale in that area, it also has plenty of contact numbers and addresses for Marshall's Independence Agents all over the country which makes it easy for people to navigate to which one is closer to them. The very fact it has all these contacts and addresses of Estate Agents fax numbers etc...... The fist thing i noticed when going onto this site was there isn't any search bar, now I think it does need one to make it easier to search for specific properties etc etc....
I've decided to give this site a rating of *** stars

Review For Bebo
One of the many websites out there, I've found this site Bebo (http://www.bebo.com/c/site/index) now this website is designed for socialising and to interact with people from all around the world. It has a straight forward layout for easiness of use for whoever decides to use it. The site does have a straight forward layout big clear buttons to use to take you to different pages on the site, it's all around appearence makes it easy to use and a decent site. The site has a range of features on the site to keep the users entertained for a long periods of time. The first thing you see is its logo Bebo, when you sign in or make an account with them it has an appealing look to it. Meeting user's purposes it does that very well depending on the users point of view, how the site can be improved to meet the users needs. A way it could be improved to make it better for anybody who wants to use it can make changes such as security reasons, like if left for long periods of time it will still be logged in and could cause people to tamper with my account. This site I've given a rating of **** stars
Introduction
Hi, my name's Stan. I've been browsing through some websites and thought it would be a good idea to review them to see what's good.... and what's not!
In the world of websites there are some pretty pathetic and useless sites which have no meaning or use to anyone.... on the other hand there is and can be some very decent, useful and informative websites. Once found the website you need it provides you with the information you require.
