Chapter 11: Corporate Web Site

Overall, I found this chapter pretty interesting. I liked the descriptions of the five basic web site categories, and I was trying to determine what category the web site I am designing falls under. (I decided that it is educational...just in case you were wondering). I also enjoyed seeing the comparision in the approach to the T. Rowe Pice home page over time. It is interesting to see how the visible change in focus for web sites as time goes by. On the CD (which really just repeated most of the information in the book while adding a few new things), I thought it was interesting to see the way the web site provides the user to choose where to go. It reminded me of the Choose Your Own Adventure books. I actually used a web site like this over the weekend. I was filing my taxes on the TaxAct web site. I didn't realize how cool it was that I was able to choose options on every page until after reading this chapter. It is pretty nifty!
