Focus on Web Design (Page 154)

I visited my.sinclair.edu. I liked the site because I visit it everyday for my online classes so I always notice it and I like to go through the site and see what I can find. I think the purpose of the site is to not only give students and instructors a way to communicate and know what classes they are taking, but also provide information from classes so that you can work at home. The intended audience is obviously Sinclair students and instructors, but future students and anyone interested in knowing about sinclair can go to the site. The site does reach students and instructors as well as other prospective students wanting to go to Sinclair. Most instructors use the website more than class so a lot more students are going on the site and online classes rely heavily on the site. The site was very useful because I like to have things structured and being able to find information is very important and I get that on this site. The background was mostly white with the sections on the homepage being red at the top and gray background with black and darker gray text. The top of the page has about a one inch red border. Almost all the text on the page is black. The logo on the page is the Sinclair portal banner at the top of the page. The navigation buttons to Web Advisor, your sinclair mailbox, and links have a gray background with white bolded text. I think the colors made the site contrasted nicely while still making the site look professional. The colors were easy to read.
