Evaluate the presentation and organization of the site
Presentation issues include page or site layout, clarity or
intuitiveness of the site's organizational design, and help/example
sections. Presentation issues may, or may not, impact the
information provided. If a citation of the source means that others
will visit the site, the citation should be annotated to include
information about the site presentation and organization. If a site is
very difficult to use, it might be better to not use it as a reference.
Things to look for:
- Intuitive site organization for the appropriate audience
- Clear headings and textual references
- Appropriate use of graphics and multi-media
- Help and example sections appropriately placed
- Navigational links provided back to starting points or table of
content pages
