Deadspin

http://deadspin.com


Target Audience
  • sports enthusiasts who want to get all the latest news on any sport in a single place
  • people wanting an unbiased opinion on sports that you can't get at other sports sites


Usefulness of Content
  • updated several times daily so there is constantly new content
  • the writers for the site give their "unbiased" opinions on sports so it can often give a different viewpoint on a given situation
  • pool articles written by a variety of sources so as to include everything they can


Consistency of Design
  • grey color scheme throughout the site
  • separate the brief overviews of each articles well
  • for articles written by Deadspin, they allow registered users to make comments & these show up beneath each of the articles
  • no white space at the very top of the page which is visually annoying
  • main navigation isn't easily distinguished from other links at the top of the page


Ease of Navigation
  • they link to other sites but they don't make them open up into new windows which often makes it confusing as to where you are--at Deadspin or at another site
  • don't have the main site navigation at the top of the page so you can't easily get to the main sections quickly
  • easily confused as to where exactly you are within the site
