When you first come to the site I find it very engaging. There is text at the top that is easily accessible and helps you find what you’re looking for quickly. There is a big image with text on it that draws your eye to what clothing they are focusing on this month or sales that are going on. I think the visual hierarchy makes a lot of sense.

The set up of this website is similar to free people but it is simplified and there is a lot more negative or white space. I think it is still very engaging it is just a different feel. The information is laid out in a similar way with text at the top that allows you to easily find what you are shopping for. The hierarchy on this website also makes a look of sense. The biggest thing on the page is the preview of the fall collection, which I think makes a lot of sense because that is what they are trying to sell.

The website is engaging and the rotating pictures make you want to look more into what they are offering at the college. The information is easily accessible and there is a search bar to help you find something specific more easily. I like how there are important statistic about the college that draw your eye on the home page. It makes sense that these statistics are bigger and in different colors because it makes the college look more appealing to perspective students.

When you first open this website there is a lot to look at. I feel like it is not as organized as the pervious websites that I have talked about. The thing that pops out at me the most is that big Labor Day sale they are having. This is good when trying to sell a product to someone. So I would say that the hierarchy is affective. The information is still pretty easily accessible as well.

If you are interested in joining Greek life I feel like this website is very engaging and appealing. The information is easily accessible. The picture slide show also makes it engaging to a perspective new member. There is not a ton of hierarchy I think there are ways that it could be more effective.

I think that Pandora is very user friendly and engaging. I like being able to give a song a thumbs up or down I think that makes it very interactive and fun. The information is very easily accessible. The visual hierarchy also makes sense.

Netflix is a site that I visit frequently the site is very engaging with the different categories that move so you can find a show or movie that interests you. All shows and movies are organized and are very accessible to users. The visual hierarchy makes sense and is organized in a good way.

You can spend hours on this site you can look up anything that interests you. This is a great place to find all sorts of inspiration. Information is easily accessible and the search bar is easy to find. There is not a ton of hierarchy on this website.
This site does not jump out and grab my attention when I first come to it. The first thing that I looked at were the adds on the right hand side. But the site is very user friendly. And the information that you might be looking for is easily accessible. The hierarchy makes sense.

The layout is very simple. There is a lot of white space witch I find appealing and inviting. I think that the site is engaging it is easy to find what your looking for it is also very easy to change languages so this site has made it easily usable for many different people. I think that the hierarchy also works well and makes sense.
