Checkpoint 3:

Does the site achieve its aims?

A web site may be very good at stating its aims but if it does not do what it says it will then it will be of little use to you.

 

Try looking at one page of a web site.

Read through the information and then decide whether it has really told you what it said it would.

Are there any diagrams or pictures to illustrate what is being said?

Do these help you to understand it?

 

These two example web sites both aim to tell you how to cure hiccups.

Have a look at each one and think about the aims.

Web site 1:

This web site doesn't really achieve the aim because it tells you about hiccups but not how to get rid of them.

 

Web site 2:

This site gives you some ways of curing hiccups. So it does achieve the aim.

 

If a site does not do what it says it will then it will be of little use to you
