Bad Website   http://www.chestertourist.com/index.htm

This website doesn’t really do it’s job properly. It is supposed to be a way of attracting new people to Chester and give information clearly to visitors. It should look bright and welcoming but it’s black background makes it dull and harder to read the text. The homepage has 2 scrolling banners next to each other which doesn’t look good and images are stretched.

The ‘What’s on’ page is the worst

•  It scrolls forever and it doesn’t follow a grid.
• The buttons at the top are confusing because they use different colours and fonts. I hate buttons
• The navigation is clumsy and takes up the whole area above the fold
• There are to many images on this page and many are not aligned, stretched and pixilated. There’s no hierarchy as to which is the most important
• The banner advert at the top is off center
• There is no need for the repeated background image, it just clutters the page
• Towards the bottom of the page large chunks of text are centred which make it harder to read.
• Whole paragraphs of text are used as links where it should be only a few words
