1. Instructions

When designing websites today, a developer has the ability to use a graphical user interface (e.g., Adobe Dreamweaver, Expression web) or a text editor (e.g., Notepad++, NotePad). Think about interfaces or text editors that you have used, and identify which one was best for what you wanted. 

2. Identify one or two sites that you have visited recently. For what type of audience are those sites intended? When you saw the sites, did they feel like you were included in the intended audience? 

3. Instructions

With the abundance of colors and choices available for web design, it may seem boring to conform to a black-text-on-white-background scheme. Think about some of the websites that you frequently visit. Which of those do you believe are distracting or difficult to read because of the use of different color combinations? What other color combinations do think might work well? 

Make sure to provide the URL and your analysis in your response.

Throughout this unit, you were introduced to multimedia (i.e., video, audio, and animation).

Give an example of a website that you often visit and how you could improve its use of multimedia.
