Is APPLE a good wed site??

To me, the answer is definitely YES. A good website can be divided into few catogories to describe its design features, which includes the text, navigation, graphic and general design. Apple ( http://www.apple.com/ ) has fulfilled the basic requirement features of being a good web site.

First of all, the background does not interupt the text. It uses a plain white background to make the visitors only focus on the text and products pictures. Besides, the text is big enough to read, but not too big. The hierarchy of information is perfectly clear for the visitors to read.

Secondly, the navigation buttons and bars of the web pages are easy to understand and use. For instance, if you want to read more information about iPhone, you may just move your mouse cursor to the navigation bar and click on the "iPhone" then it will bring you to the page. The navigation bar are consistently throughout the web pages. It located on the same position in every pages. Beside that, the frame are not obtrusive because the web site is using frame to display its information. It helps visitors to read and view conveniently.

Next, the graphic of this web site. Its graphic and background using browser-safe colors and certain graphic has an alt label. Moreover, some of the graphic link has a matching text link. For example, different product in "store" page will have different link to other pages for visitors to get more information.

Lastly, the general design of the web pages. The pages can be downloaded quickly in seconds, it saves the visitors' time. Yet, every web page in the upper site (tagline) looks like it belongs to the same site. The logo of APPLE is repeatedly carried throughout the pages.

However, nothing can be perfect, but only keep improving our strengths in order to survive in this competitive age. A web site represents the image of a company, so the features of the web site should be appropriate to show the professionalism and maintain the visitors loyalty for the long run.
