“Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency” website has loaded rather quickly. It asked for permission to load additions and this might be a problem if a strong anti-virus is installed on the user’s computer. As it is a government website, it is organized and structured in a clear and easy to use way.
The front page is very appealing to the viewer and the graphics are of high quality. The selections on the left side make the content of the website accessible in an efficient way. The search bar is a useful tool that is also available. A minor shortback is that there is no advanced search and so, a person who has entered the website cannot specify what details they prefer to find. The website seems useful for those who want to start their business.
The page that describes the process has several links to better explain the starting points and all the needed information. The interconnection between business and the fact that this is a government site creates a reliable link between the private business owner and the government officials and administration (Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, 2012).
“Canadian Youth Business Foundation” website contains many more graphics that could possibly lower the loading speed but that is not the case. Everything works perfectly and the design is very engaging. The several topics presented are accompanied by graphics and this is a positive side because a person knows what to expect from the different links.
There are no breaks within the page and thus, it is easy to navigate and use. On the right hand side there is a count of people that were supported and a number of jobs that “were created”. This feature is a very good idea because it gives the website visitor a conceptual representation of the strengths that the service offers. A page titled “Mentoring” provides an opportunity to receive help in almost any aspect.
his is a very beneficial tool because often, young entrepreneurs are not sure where to begin and how to conduct themselves in a business world. As there is much competition, the website could be instrumental in pointing to the right direction and explaining most preferred route (Canadian Youth Business Foundation, 2013).
“Business News & Strategy For Entrepreneurs” has the most graphics compared to other websites. The pictures are of high quality and the organization of the front page is very effectively presented. The video on the right side of the page has loaded quickly and without any problems.
The specific connection to the use of applications is made and this is an important benefit because people expect to be using their personal devices to conduct and research businesses. The separation into current news and special reports, as well as “tips” section, provide all the necessary and interesting information needed for a person who is not familiar with the entrepreneurial activities. The information itself is adequately organized and is helpful in explaining the specifics of the trade.
The technique of presenting statistics and other business related specifics in a graphical way, make it easy to understand. By clicking on a button labeled “Load More Stories” the viewer gets another handful of information and business related facts and so, the amount of information is extensive and of high quality. It is obvious that the designers know what kind of information people need and how to present it in an effective way (Business News & Strategy For Entrepreneurs, 2013).
