Trick 12. Comparing schools web sites.

   The sites that we will be comparing are the Ohio University of Chillicothe (http://www.chillicothe.ohiou.edu/) and my high school, Huntington (http://www.edline.net/pages/Huntington_High_School).

   When looking at the two, the Huntington page is very basic, and visually its abrasive to the readers eyes when compared to the Ohio Universities much more neutral tone of browns and dull greens.  First impressions, the HHS page only has one opening picture, that of the school itself.  The left hand side has the basic information a student would need with their account, classes, and other shortcuts.  All in all, a very basic and unimpressive website.

  Now, compare that to the OUC site and its much more impressive.  The overall tone with dull browns, greens, and black texts make this site much easier to read and understand.  All the sidebars are much more fleshed out, easier to read as well, and help the viewer navigate better.  This gives a much more professional experience.
