This week I decided to visit MSU’s website and JSC’s website.

MSU

I was immediately pleased by the simplicity of this website. The cleanliness of it’s layout made it not only pleasing to the eye but also easy to read. I also loved the set of of the text into three parts: the about section, the analysis, and the identity conclusion. The continuity of this set up with each organization makes it easy to follow and I especially love the conclusion page that ties all the organizations’ fashion trends together at the end. The structure of this site is really strong and it appears to be almost done. The only part missing seems to be the oral history. Overall, this is a great website! My only suggestion is for the site creators to create a personal header/logo. The MSU logo works, but it kind of makes it seem like the website is something the school set up and not a personal project for school if that makes sense. I think creating a header/logo will not only add some extra creativity to the website but also help the website visitors get a sense of the tone of the website they are about to explore.

JSC

I love the giant scenic photo of the school as the header. I don’t know why but for some reason I can imagine Maria from The Sound of Music twirling around on that campus. Anyway, as I scrolled down I was a little confused. I’m not really sure what the website’s goal is. Perhaps to compare and contrast ’70s fashion with the fashion of today? It is a little unclear because instead of pages there are just posts which makes it a little difficult to read. I would suggest turning those posts into pages. If you don’t know how, Corey does! He built our website because pages are something I am clueless on. I also, understand that you don’t have all your content up (I don’t either), but I do suggest coming up with a different way of presenting the photos. I think if you put them in Google Slides and then embed the slides into your page, they will be larger. Right now they are very small and hard to see. My final suggestion is to come up with a unique title that clues visitors into the topic of the site and maybe also spells out what JSC stands for since some people may not know.
