Rotoworld.com

Intended Audience

This site is intended for anyone interested in fantasy sports, and it includes information on just about any fantasy sport imaginable.

Usefulness of Content

The content of this site is useful for those who play fantasy games, as it includes recent news headlines, blurbs about how news is expected to impact a player's fantasy value, and some advice and analysis columns. It is therefore useful to those looking to keep up how recent happenings in the sports world affect fantasy sports.

Consistency of Design

The design of Rotoworld.com is very consistent, with a design that applies throughout the various sections for different sports. Blurbs about player news come in boxes with player name, team, and the team's color and logo in the header, with the analysis of the news in blue. The design overall, is accessible, at least for me, if a little bland and marred by advertisements.

Ease of Navigation

The site is navigated fairly easily, with a navigation bar that includes tabs for the major sports. When you scroll over the tabs, a drop menu with options such as 'Depth Charts', 'Injuries', and other relevant topics appears. When you click on a tab, the options on the drop menu are displayed as links in a sub-navigation bar underneath the main navigation bar. These bars allow easy access to desired information in the different sections of the site. Rotoworld also has a player search feature that allows one to find a specific player's profile, which includes statistics and news blurbs, with ease.
