The site is missing a search and comments page. Though these are more complex to pro-gram, they effectively make a good site into a great one. www.fas.harvard.edu/~hnguyen
Site Summary
If you are looking for information on Vietnam or looking to design a site that has a great user interface, you have come to the right place. Chockfull of information on Vietnam, this site has photos, music and links.
What's Right
This site features a navigational style to be admired, showing a skillful combination of Java and text as opposed to the typical superfluous use of the Java language. Additionally, the graphics are unique and well-designed. Furthermore, they flow together to create a comprehensive site design instead of a page-by-page design.
What's Wrong
The site isn't monitor-friendly. Unfortunately, not all monitors are the same size or display at the same resolution. Therefore, it is important to engineer your site to cater to most of your viewers. Typically, it is best to make your pages no wider than would be seen on an 800x600 monitor. www.hcs.harvard.edu/~hub/
Site Summary
The Harvard University Band's Web site has vastly improved in recent months. With songs now played out in full and recorded in MPEG format, the site has gone from samples in MIDI format to clear sounding Harvard songs--a must for any student with an MPEG player. Additionally, the site clearly marks out the different band links.
What's Right
The site offers something unique that other sites don't have: music. The use of MPEG technology makes this site a must-visit.
What's Wrong
Some of the information is disorganized on the front page, and images could have better contrast to highlight the difference between the white background and the whiteness of the images. www.fas.harvard.edu/~sarmad
Site Summary
What this site is about is anyone's guess, which is one of its drawbacks. However, this site by Shaikh M. Sarmad '97-'99 represents some important site design concepts.
