Extra credit…. Critique one of the CIOS Centennial web page sites entries at http://jjcwebs.org

 

 

Critique of jjcwebs.org/jason_vanhoegarden:

I found Jason's site to be visually entertaining.  Although the navigation was inconsistent, it wasn't difficult to find my way around.  
My initial step into the site irritated me with the moving head, but I pressed on.

The pictures of the school were well laid out.  I would have liked to see more descriptions of what I was looking at, though.

I would have liked to see Jason use that colorful background throughout, pick a navigation scheme and stick with it, and put more text on to the pages to explain the pictures.  People like to know what they're looking at.

Bottom line: I enjoyed the site enough that I looked at all the pages.
