| Appealing Page |
The
URL of the appealing page is http://www.mydeal.com.my/deals/johor-bahru. Why I
would select this page as my appealing page? Simple! The first reason was it
provided latest information about the stocks in the banner and always keeps
users informed about what is going on. There were four categories listed on the
top of the pages which were: Deals, Travels, Product and Dining. These
classifications have brought convenient to users or customers to view their
staffs.
Secondly,
this page contains flexibility and efficiency to use. It would not cause any
difficultly for inexperienced users likes the procedure to purchase the stocks.
The steps to purchase the stock is just as easy as pie to understand and users
were not necessary to put too much effort to read and follow the instructions.
The last reason was the information in this page have stated from one part of the
dialogue to another so that users did not have to remember all the information.
This situation has minimized the user’s memory load by making objects, actions
and options visible.
Last but not least, I will encourage others
to visit this site because it sold a lot of products with reasonable price as
the prices were lower than shops. Furthermore, the free delivery to Peninsular
Malaysia option even attracts the customers to visit this site in order to
purchase the products. The stocks are subject to availability, if stocks run
out, restocking will take 21 working days. This condition gave confidence and
satisfaction to customers.

| Unappealing Page |
The
URL of the unappealing page is http://www.azlyrics.com/. A-Z Lyrics is one of the most successful
lyrics websites, but most lyrics are more beautiful than the design of this
website. Most celebrity and entertainment websites pay attention to web design,
but a high percentage of lyrics websites are plain ugly. A website should be
designed appropriately so that visitors can find it appealing, efficient and
effective to use. The appearance of a website is important because it motivates
users and gives them the first impression about the website. If a website is
unappealing to visitors, they find it very hard to go through the site and read
the content.
According
to the 8 golden rules of interface design, a website should be striving for
consistency which is the website should have the consistent color, layout and
capitalization. However, the website just shows a plain purple background color
and the words are using blue color. The combination of these two colors is not
match because it will look like the same. Color is used in order to make a
website beautiful and attractive and enhance a website. Some visitors may color
blinded and may not be able to differentiate different colors thus find it
difficult to read the content because the colors mixture has affected the
clearness of the content on the web page.
Other things that make the web design unappealing are unwanted pop-up
windows and unnecessary navigation links. It was annoying the visitors who want
reading the content of the website.
