6 Criteria for Websites
These six criteria deal with the content of Web sites rather than the graphics or site design.
Apply these criteria when you research on the internet.
1. AUTHORITY
Authority reveals that the person, institution or agency responsible for a site has the
qualifications and knowledge to do so.
Evaluating a web site for authority: Authorship: It should be clear who developed the site. Contact information should be clearly provided: e-mail address, snail mail address,
phone number, and fax number. Credentials: the author should state qualifications, credentials, or personal background
that gives them authority to present information. Check to see if the site supported by an organization or a commercial body
2. PURPOSE
The purpose of the information presented in the site should be clear. Some sites are meant to
inform, persuade, state an opinion, entertain, or parody something or someone.
Evaluating a
web site for purpose: Does the content support the purpose of the site? Is the information geared to a specific audience (students, scholars, general reader)? Is the site organized and focused? Are the outside links appropriate for the site? Does the site evaluate the links? Check the domain of the site. The URL may indicate its purpose.
3. COVERAGE
It is difficult to assess the extent of coverage since depth in a site, through the use of links, can
be infinite. One author may claim comprehensive coverage of a topic while another may cover
just one aspect of a topic.
Evaluating a web site for coverage: Does the site claim to be selective or comprehensive? Are the topics explored in depth? Compare the value of the site’s information compared to other similar sites. Do the links go to outside sites rather than its own? Does the site provide information with no relevant outside links?
4. CURRENCY
Currency of the site refers to: 1) how current the information presented is, and 2) how often
the site is updated or maintained. It is important to know when a site was created, when it was
last updated, and if all of the links are current.
Evaluating a web site for currency involves
finding the date information was: first written placed on the web last revised
Then ask if: Links are up-to-date Links provided should be reliable. Dead links or references to sites that have moved are
not useful. Information provided so trend related that its usefulness is limited to a certain time
period? the site been under construction for some time?
5. OBJECTIVITY
Objectivity of the site should be clear. Beware of sites that contain bias or do not admit its bias
freely.
Objective sites present information with a minimum of bias. Evaluating a web site for
objectivity: Is the information presented with a particular bias? Does the information try to sway the audience Does site advertising conflict with the content? Is the site trying to explain, inform, persuade, or sell something?
6. ACCURACY
There are few standards to verify the accuracy of information on the web. It is the responsibility
of the reader to assess the information presented.
Evaluating a web site for accuracy: Reliability: Is the author affiliated with a known, respectable institution? References: do statistics and other factual information receive proper references as to
their origin?
Does the reading you have already done on the subject make the information seem
accurate?
Is the information comparable to other sites on the same topic? Does the text follow basic rules of grammar, spelling and composition? Is a bibliography or reference list included?
Originally, websites were purely informational. Before the web was opened to the public, educational and research institutions and government agencies were able to make information available to each other via text-only websites. Now that we have the World Wide Web, there are more types of websites than you can shake a stick at. Here we will discuss the basic types, noting that we will not include all and that there are hybrids of all those we will discuss.
1. Personal WebsitesYour Internet Service Provider or Domain Registrar may offer you free server space for you to create your own website that might include some family photos and an online diary. Usually these will have a web address (URL) looking something like this: www.your-isp.com/~your-user-name/. This type of site is useful for a family, teenagers, grandparents, etc. to stay in touch with each other. This type is not advisable for a small business because the URL is not search engine friendly and the limited server capabilities your hosting company offer may not be sophisticated enough for a small business website.
2. Photo Sharing WebsitesThese types of website are cropping up like fleas on dog. There are web sites like, Flickr.com,Photosite.com, and Google's Picasa. There could easily be over a hundred such sites that offer free photo sharing paid for by their online advertising. Also, many digital cameras and photo printers now come with software enabling mere mortals to create digital photo slide shows and upload them to the web. Most smart phones have apps to accomplish the same ends.
3. Writers / Authors WebsitesWriter's and Author's websites are part of what's known as the Writer's or Author's Platform in the publishing business. The platform includes, a website, a Facebook presence, blog, Twitter account, and the old fashioned mailing list. Many publishers will ask a prospective client about their platform. In other words, "If we publish your book, what sort of a reader base do you already have that we can count on to buy your new publication?" Fairly weighty request, wouldn't you say? For now, let's concentrate on the website part. A writers website would include a biography, a catalog of published books and works, perhaps excerpts from some works, links to publications on sites like Amazon.com, a link to the writer's blog, reviews and comments on the author's publications. You get the idea, and that is to build a following, a fan base to which future publications can be directly marketed.
4. Community Building WebsitesSocial Websites, Forum Websites, and Sharing Websites.These websites build online communities of people who want to interact with other people socially or meet people who share their interests. The best known website of this type is probablyFaceBook.com. There's also Linkedin.com, and let's not forget the old MySpace.com just to mention a few. For sharing and discussing mutual interests, there are online forums for practically any subject you can think of. These Forum websites can be a great source of information and help for the small business person. (I'm sure there is a forum dedicated to your type of business. Just do a web search for something like real estate web forum.) Now you can see this is where we start to get into the idea of "hybrid" sites.Photo Sharing and other forms of sharing sites might also be considered community building sites, much as Blogging sites are. Can Dating Sites be considered Community Building Sites, or are they E-commerce Sites. All that's up for discussion.
5. Mobile Device WebsitesThe use of mobile devices (smart phones, tablets, watches, etc.) has become ubiquitous. One problem is that standard websites are difficult to view and sometines take a long time to download on some of these devices with their small screens and wireless connections. Websites whose pages are narrower in width and take up less bandwidth work much better for mobile devices. A new domain designation has been created to identify websites that are "mobile friendly". That is .mobi, as in www.xislegraphix.mobi, if I had such a site. If you have a small business that would benefit from being viewed on a mobile devise, you should consider investigating the possibilities of creating a mobile friendly site.
6. Blogging WebsitesPeople took the words Web Logs and shortened it to Blogs—online diaries, journals, or editorials, if you will. My, how Blogs have taken over the Internet. A person used to be outdated if he/she did not have a website, now having a blog is de rigeur. A blog owner will log-on daily, weekly, or whenever, and write about whatever is going on in their lives or business, or they may comment on politics and news. How wonderful the Internet is! Now anyone who can afford a blog can be self published and allow their thoughts to be read by anyone in the world who has online access. How important is blogging to the small business person?Read more about blogs and find out...
7. Informational WebsitesA major informational site is wikipedia.org, the online encyclopedia. And it is unique, because it allows members to contribute and edit articles. Now your small business may not want such a comprehensive site, but if you have information to share or sell, an informational website would fill the bill. Suppose you have a landscaping business. You could create a website that lists plants with their definitions and planting and caring instructions. This would be helpful to people, and you would use it to lead people to your nursery. Of course you could "hybrid" this site by adding an e-commerce feature, a forum, or even photo sharing.
8. Online Business Brochure/Catalog WebsitesIn the days before the Internet, we used the print, radio, and television media to spread the word about our businesses. Now we can cast a large net, reaching literally millions of people al over the world with just one website. With your online brochure or catalog, you can show anyone who looks for and finds your website, photos and descriptions of your products or services. To some this may sound like an E-commerce Website, but there are many businesses that deal in products or services that are not sellable over the web—think hair-stylist, dentist, or day-care center.
9. Directory WebsitesJust as we used to use the printed Yellow Pages in phone books to find services and businesses, today we have website directories. The Yellow Pages has one, YP.com. Directories can be dedicated to a certain topic or industry, or they can encompass geographical areas. Search Engines, such asGoogle.com and Yahoo.com can be considered directories, but since their databases are so large, rather than searching alphabetically, one enters a search term in the search field.
10. E-commerce WebsitesEver hear of Amazon.com? It's one of the grand-daddies of all e-commerce websites. But you don't have to be an Amazon to sell your products online. There are millions of small businesses who use their e-commerce websites to sell their products over the Internet. Just about anything that can be sold in a brick-and-mortar store can be sold online—with much less overhead! Is an E-commerce Website right for you?
