quotesandsayings.com
I found this site through IPL's list of sources for quotations. IPL describes the site as "a search portal for finding literary quotations and sayings from all the best databases on the internet."
Intended Audience: Unsuspecting victims who witness horrific web design or people who are trying to find the author or source of a quotation.
Usefulness of Content: The intended content of this site should be useful but only if a user can navigate through the maze of ads or even know where to enter in search terms. You should be able to enter their portal and search through different databases. They even have a place where you can search Google through their site... Really.
Consistency of Design: OR how the site lacks consistent design. When you first open the page you are inundated with small bits of information spread over the page, all in different sizes, colors, and fonts. My eyes have a hard time even settling on anything on the page without being distracted by everything else around it. The patterned wallpaper does not help the eyes when viewing this site.
Ease of Navigation: Like stated earlier navigation through this site is nearly impossible. I came to the site wanting to look up the source of a quote but soon was troubled with even finding the correct search box to input the quote. There is not an about section of the page at all where I can at least attempt to learn how to navigate the site.
Concluding thoughts: This site is just wrong.
