What is an effective website?

What is an effective website? Faigley says there are three components that make an effective website. They are credible, usually appealing, and fast to upload. I agree with this because I feel if a website is unorganized makes searching for the information you need difficult. The purpose of the website should be to be credible while persuading the website visitors. The colors are also very important because you do not want too many colors so you do no overwhelm visitors. The colors hould be warm and inviting like orange and greens. The site should have some whitespace to give the visitors eyes a break.

I feel that amazon.com is a great website. It is secured, persuasive, easy to use, and is organized. They do not use too manyt colors and is appealing to its target audience. Also, I believe that abercrombieandfitch.com is an awesome website because it is easy to use and has unique features such as a "online changing room" where you can put different articles of clothing together to make outfits. It also features an online shopping cart where you can put items you wish to buy in the future or now. The site is very organzied too. At the top of the page you can choose men or women and if you want t-shirts, jeans, or accessories. It is very appealing to its target audience.

Lesley,
I like the colors you chose for your advertisement. Have you ever thought of what kind of website might be a good place to sell your fragrance?

To me an effective website is the one that is designed to meet all the requirements a visitor wishes to look for. The factors explained are accurate and I will remember all of them.
