Internet Movie Database (www.imbd.com)

Intended Audience

The intended audience of this website is anyone - of almost any age who can use a computer and access the site - interested in films, TV shows, and news relating to these topics.

Usefulness of Content

The content of this site is very useful for anyone seeking almost anything to do with films and television shows. It contains information about movies that are currently in theaters, upcoming, in production, or those of the past - the recent and the not so recent. It also contains information about the actors, directors, and others involved in the production of movies and TV shows. Imdb.com also has television schedules, news about films, TV shows, celebrities, and other such related topics, local theater showings, links to purchase movie tickets, and much more.

Consistency of Design

The design of Imdb.com is very consistent. Pages concerning films and TV shows, and actors, directors, and others involved in the production of films and TV shows are consistent in their respective designs. It also has the same navigation bar at the top of every page, and a fairly good consistency between the different sections of the website.

Ease of Navigation

This site's ease of navigation is generally good. The site is easily searchable using the search tool on the navigation bar. The tabs on the navigation bar also help one to move easily through different sections of the web page. One small quibble is that the directory of Imbd.com's features is linked on the navigation bar under the somewhat vague word "Browse" so that many that are not curious enough to investigate the navigation bar fully will miss out on much of the sites interesting features.
