Assignment 5

Stanford Kite-Flying Society 

I like the clarity of the writing on this website, especially on the History of Kites section.  You lay out some interesting appearances of kites throughout history that I have never heard before.  Your writing is also kept in short paragraphs which makes it easier for the reader to follow.  It may be worthwhile to insert headings to further improve the accessibility of the text.  You could divide the information into Origins, Asian expansion, and Western expansion.  You should also provide a link to the Uses of Kites section where you mention it in the text.  The beginner's guide to flying a kite you outlined in Assignment 2 will be a great addition to this site, and you should consider providing a link for this page onto the "buying a kite" page as a "next step."  This could develop into you linking the pages such that your website directly guides the visitor step by step from learning to flying.  Your home page is also clear and concise in its explanation of the site.  You should extend your introduction to inexperienced kite fliers by adding a sentence or a short list that explicitly lays out the steps your site provides for guiding someone into kite flying (choosing the right kite, how to fly a kite, safety measures, etc).  Keep up the good work.

I like how you have structured your reviews: rating on top, short but detailed review below, and overall final call to conclude. If you gave a heading to your “Overall” statement and made it stand out by putting it above the detailed review, your audience could use that one conclusion to judge whether or not to read the whole review or continue browsing the site. Linking a screenshot of the app directly to the iTunes download page is a great idea.  It makes it easy for the viewers to act on the information they just received.  Let your viewer know explicitly that you can download the app right now by clicking on the image.  You should also develop some way of letting the website viewer know which categories on your sidebar have been updated.  Your About section does a good job of explaining your business plan and the case for why random app reviewing would be worthwhile.  The style of language you use in this section reflects an excitement and confidence in your website idea I also felt from your presentation.  I think this website is a unique, valid approach to app viewing and the general iPhone services you plan on adding will make it a really resourceful, fun site for users.
