Wed Nov. 7th : LANIC

LANIC

Intended Audience:

Latino adults

Usefulness of content:
The site is made up of online - based information about Latin America. This includes links to journals, statistics, and newsrooms that cover a broad range of relevant topics from economy to education to culture. Although the website does not provide the information itself, it does provide links to the useful information. The content of the page is translated into 3 languages which allows the audience to understand what they are being linked to. The content is also word heavy and does not cater to visually focused users.

Consistency of Design:
The website design is consistent. The design includes banner throughout the website, navigation at the bottom of the page, and the content in the middle. The design does not change when one changes to a different translation.

Ease of Navigation:
The navigation bar is at the bottom and therefore when content is heavy is not easily visible and the user is left to use the back to previous page tool from the browsers tool bar. Other than that the website is easy to navigate through.
