Here are the two websites I've chosen:
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/
http://www.charliehebdo.fr/
London Evening Standard
1. Organisation: 18/20
2. Ease of use: 19/20
3. Aesthetics: 13/20
4. Content richness: 17/20
5. Content style: 18/20
Global : 85/100
The website is nicely organized and makes sense: the theme is consistent as it provides news. The first focus is London(UK) but it also gives information about the rest of the world. The navigation theme is neither a plus nor a minus, it's basic; maybe a bit too basic for 2010 though.
The text is easy to read as the background is white and the text is black. The pages load quickly, the text as well as the images and the stories are long enough to provide news but not too long to be boring.
Although the content is good and properly organized, the appearance is not really pleasant to look at, it's neat but a bit too simple and too common. There are no special effects, it could have been good to use some to make the website look a bit more "trendy".
The writing is formal but efficient, it does what a newspaper should do: give the information. The images illustrate well the articles, there are not too many.
In a whole the website will be visited by people for its content but not necessarily for the visual aspect as it looks like any other website. I would have tried and use more colours, organize the content in less categories.
Charlie Hebdo
1. Organisation: 17/20
2. Ease of use: 19/20
3. Aesthetics: 19/20
4. Content richness: 10/20
5. Content style: 19/20
Global: 84/100
This website of a French weekly has a good content and makes sense, following the same line: providing the news with humour and derision. The navigation scheme is a bit hard to follow as we tend to have problems to know where to go to get a specific category.
However, the website is very easy to read with a white background a black text. The pages as well as the images load quickly, the website shows the images at the same moment as the concerned articles. The stories length is in the average, a few articles in the category "actualités" are a bit longer than the rest; but the images also reinforces that impression of length.
The look of the website is pleasant, there are no special effects but the colours bring some "energy" to the website and this could be a way of attracting new visitors (especially younger people). The colours are not distracting but attracting.
The content is interesting but might disturb some people because of the style of writing and the sarcasm of the articles. It is easy to read but still pertinent and the drawings add to the content of the articles.Although the content is interesting, it might be a bit old sometimes, especially in the categories "courrier des lecteurs" or "actualités" (what is a shame for a category labelled this way).
In a whole the website should be kept updated more frequently as the content and the visuals are interesting, it would be good to keep the news "news". This problem could prevent visitors to come back to this website and could make them think the newspaper is not professional.
