Content Audit Reflection


Content Audit Reflection

My event was a Lymphoma Research Ride site. I found while doing the audit for this website that it was very difficult. Most of the pages do not link to anything, and if they do it is very little information. There was only one set of links on the “About Us” page that had any coherence with the rest of the website. A few things I noticed while clicking on the links from the event website was that a brand new box pops up really small and has scroll bars on them. At first when I went to see if that link had any more I could not find them because they were not visible. The content Audit for this site is very small because the website is so poorly made. www.lymphoma.org/ride2012/


The second website I chose was http://lymphosite.org/. It is a research site that has a better design but I ran into the same issues with the links. They give minimal information when clicking on another link and there is not much activity or navigation throughout the entire website. This is a bad thing. For someone who would want to find out a lot of information on Lymphoma would be concerned about the credibility of this website. There are no links for references at all.

The last website I found is the best one. www.lls.org. It personifies how a website should be laid out from all the links to the design. I noticed that while doing the content audit for this one, all the links that were there were actually named and you knew what page you were on. The other two websites failed to do that. There were no pop-up windows and each link was organized with categories and sub-categories.
