Website Report

After researching 6 charity websites I have found that there are certain aspects of a website that is contained within all conventional websites. I believe these conventions are followed because they are easy to use and look aesthetically pleasing to the customer, and if it looks good and works well then the user is more likely to come back and use the website again and recommend it to their family and friends.

Some of the conventions that all the websites followed were the fact that there was a navigation bar at the top of all the websites, this allows the user to get to any part of the website from any page of the website.

Another convention that all the websites followed was the fact that they had their logo on display in the top left of the home page, I suppose the reason for all the websites for having their logo in that place is that if all the websites have their logo in the same place then if you go to any websites and want to find their logo then you know exactly where to look because it will be in the same place as all the other websites.

Also at the bottom of every website is their copyright © and trademark information and again I reckon it is in this position so you know where to look if you want to know this kind of information and also it is out-of-the-way and doesn't spoil the look of the website. Also I have noticed that this information is in a very small font and normally in a colour that doesn't stand out (like a faint grey) and again I think this is so that it doesn't affect the look of the website.
