Usefulness of Content
- I find it very useful. Coming from the Asian cultural background, I am used to the popular herbal remedial treatment instead of taking pills in light sickness. I mean anyone who's interested in non-violent way of treating some sickness will find this website very informative. Let's say you have a cold and want to use something of non-artificial nature of medicinal properties. In such a case, ginger is all-purpose medicine for a cold symptom. You want to ascertain that ginger has a certain medicinal property. Then, click ginger index on this blog and you will see very descriptive information on it. According to the web info, part of its uses : "Ginger Tea is a hot infusion, very useful to cold. It helps in indigestion and in alcoholic gastritis also." Apart from its uses, each indexing of a herb contains info on its name, family name, botanical name, parts used, habitat, description, etc.
Consistency of Design
- You can see the fixed pattern of layout throughout the blog. When you first blog into the main web page, you might feel a bit overwhelmed because of its congestive manner of listing hundreds and hundreds of herbs indexing category.
- Clicking each herb directs users to its own link that contains the information germane to the herb you chose. And then on the left column, there appears the list of herbs in alphabetical order, which renders browsing easier. Users can find the descriptive info of the herb on the 2/3 of the page from the right upon each click.
- Color scheme is consistent throughout the blog; herb being green, each indexing is designed as green.
Ease of navigation
- First, I found this site a bit overwhelming when first encountering it. All the exhaustive indexing right below a domain photo design on top came across a bit too congestive. However, when clicking each herb, I found it quite easy to navigate around the web since its alphabetical indexing (i.e., clicking ginger, you will see "G" indexing on the left), is located conveniently on the left side. However, regrettably, there was no search engine. In order to find ginger, I had to find G indexing to see ginger. With search engine, you could just type the name of herb; it will be not a few seconds before you see the search outcome.
