The Best (and Worst) of 4 Websites

Facebook 

Facebook has a large varieties of users and members. The layout of the website is efficient and easy. Joining the site is simple enough that a sixth grader can create an account. The many uses of having an account is wall posts, status updates, "liking", commenting, event pages, calendar updates, page follows and "likes". My own personal use is for a business page to reach out to clients on newest products and updates. Facebooks layout is simple and has three tabs in the left corner for feed, messenger, and profile. Another feature of the relaxed layout is the side bar that gives you the links to different applications Facebook has to offer; such as the events, page follows, groups, calendar, messenger and such. 

LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a website I am just getting used to. So far I have found it somewhat accessible. I created an account and have connected with eight people as well and updated work and school information. I wish that the website had live chat instead of a "ask" page when needing help. It would make things easier to explore the site and find more applications to use. Another idea would be having videos that show "how to" on specific questions the consumers may have. 

Buffalo Zoo 

The Buffalo Zoo has recently had a facelift to their website presence. The opening page brings you to live action video of the animals up close and personal giving a thrill to the consumer. The layout of the website has become much more accessible for people with new links and information about animals. The calendar tab added showing all the events that are happening is something that is very beneficial. As well as the new careers tab, showing what jobs and/or internships are available at the time being. One thing that I have noticed is a small spelling error that was on workshops tab for the behind the scenes information and PDF download file. It read 2017 not 2018.


Pinterest

Pinterest is a DIY website that allows you to search millions of projects, ideas, and advice. The site includes everything from cooking to halloween decor to gardening ideas and merchandising. There is an answer and inspiration in every post on there. It is convenient in a app form as well to keep on your phone. The one thing the website candy is become a little messy the further you go in. If you are looking for something specific it will be difficult. The more words you add into the search bar the further away you will get from actually finding what you want. There isn't anything I would change about the website. It is put together well, is accessible, and is easy to connect with Facebook and Google accounts.
