2. Brooklyn Botanical Garden Organization (bbg.org)

1. These two websites are easy to read where the navigational links are all clear and easy to read. Besides they applied the usage of active white space that structures and separates the content. It also provides an easy access in searching for related information.
2. Some of the rules that I found from these websites are:
1. Make it simple by not using too much of color combination and make it less use of hot color such as red, orange, etc.
2. Provide a clear navigational links for each pages so that users can easily navigate from one page to another.
3. Design with active white space as it structures and separates the content of the webpage.
4. Provides with an easy access for information by implementing ‘Search’ button.
5. The text must standardize for all pages, along with the theme. The text must neither too small nor too big.
3. As for yahoo homepage, it provides the information either in text, images and videos as well. This enhance and triggered attention for audience to read or watch the information that shown. As for BBG homepage there is no much images and photos that can be value added for the site.
4. For rate of findings, I give both sites 10 out of 10 as it provides an easy access for visitor to search for information.
5. What would make me comeback to the websites is their design that is simple yet easy to read and navigate from 1 page to another. The information needed is easy to obtain and I got the information that I want without compromise.
