What is the most important feature of an effective website? Why?
There are many features that come together to form an effective website- without one or the other a website may end up lacking. Important features of an effective website include, but are not limited to the following:
The functionality of a page is possibly the most important aspect of a website. If a website constantly crashes or does not load correctly, etc then nothing else matters. Graphics, text, and even content do not matter. The CNN news website, for example, is very rarely down or crashing. It is almost always up and running- links work correctly, pictures load, etc.
Face and Text: The face or the beauty of a web page matters- looks matter here. If a website has no sense of coordination, is too plain, or even too flashy people may not be attracted to it and if people are no attracted to a site then people will most likely, not use it. Websites should have a sense of professionality, as well. Even blogs need some sense of structure and organization. The text or common words of a page are also important. If a page has no useful information then there is no need for it. To coninue with the example of the CNN page mentioned above- the page has a logo, is color coordinated, has organized links to sort news, includes pictures to go with said stories, etc.
Hypertext helps to construct the World Wide Web. Hypertext and hyperlinks reference other text in which someone can access from one page. A hypertext connects the main text to other documents and allows someone to broaden their research. The hypertext used on the CNN news page allows people to go from one article to another or to browse through certain topics.
What features of hypertext hinder a webpages communicative ability?
Hypertext can cause someone to stray from the main idea of a text. If someone includes a hypertext within an article, this may cause a reader to lose track of the main idea.
What features of hypertext most enhance a webpages communicative ability?
As mentioned before, hypertext can broaden research and allow someone to learn new things. Hyperlinks are like new doors that can be opened.
