Assessment Can you navigate easily through the site? Do all links work? Does the design contribute to the ease of use? Is the format and file naming consistent? Are proper citations used for images or other media? Are images or graphs appropriately sized for clarity? Are the subject, purpose, and conclusions of the site clear?
