Synthasite is a Web 2.0 publishing platform that enables anyone to build a website for free. The website features easy to use drag and drop interface which is compatible with all browsers.
* Who are the users?
Websites are build by a variety of people, such as designers,45 artists, hobbyists, small businesses, gamers, bloggers, schools, and countless other people and organizations.
• Information chunk (gestalt principle, amount information)
The Sythasite website presents the information about it’s services in short and concise sentences. The platform allows the user to easily create pages without using HTML code, and follows the standard rules of dropping and dragging of widgets or other RSS feeds.
* Relevance (graphics, content, reading level, text)
This Web 2.0 publishing platform is simple to use. The instructions are well sequenced and the pages are easily created with predesigned templates which can be customized. The website does not contain very much information which would hinder the user from creating and developing their own site with too much difficulty. The novice computer user can easily create a website which encompasses all of the elements of interface design, usability, visuabilty, functionality, and accessibility.
On Interactivity
* Orientation (Can you find the path, and know your way around?)
The platform makes it easy to create and manage the pages of the website without using the HTML codes and linking tools used in other web authoring providers or applications like Dreamweaver. Syntasite automatically creates a primary navigation menu as you create each new page. It also allows the user to edit the pages and the navigation through a site manager.
On Screen Design
# Attractive (first impression)
My initial impression of the Synthasite home page was it was very good. The site invites the user to create a new website for free and presents the information with a professional look and feel. The site utilizes a lot of white space. Even though the page does have rotating images in the main section, they use subtle transitions which do no distract away from the other sections of important information.
I like the professional look and feel of the templates which Synthasite has. The services are a great tool to create and publish websites for free, customize pages without the use of HTML codes, and incorporate the uses of other Web 2.0 tools by dropping and dragging in links to social networks, widgets, and other providers and hosting services.
