a) I went to the website.

b) The background colours create a calming feel for this website. I think that these colours are a good fit for the website, with the exception of the greenish-grey columns on each side of the page. The reason for this is that the white text is difficult to read on top of such a colour.

c) I liked the images that were used on the website. The "cave painting" style of horses along the top banner was intriguing. Beyond this image there were not any significant ones that caught my eye. When I looked at the script it seemed as if there was only a one line description for each item. ie, "horse".

d) The webpage did not take very long to load. I was satisfied with the time that it took to load.

e) I think there is a sufficient quantity of images. I don't see how more images would have added substantial value to the website. Therefore, the creators of this website used the right amount of images.

f)The website that I found was [|Horses Canada]


 * b) There is a plain white background to this website. While it does not create the calming effect of the other website it makes reading the text much easier. I prefer readability over the visual appeal of a website so I will keep it the way it is.
 * c) I don't feel that the images add anything significant to the website. Hence, the company would have to add more appealing pictures if they want to draw the viewers attention.
 * d) The page downloaded quickly. There are no issues with the speed at which it downloaded.
 * e) There are not enough images and they are not placed in good places on the page. Hence, the creators should change the layout of the pictures that hey have selected.

Overall, I prefer the look of the first website. It just appears to be more attractive. I cannot ascertain why that is the case but that is how I find it.
