Format counts

Finding the differences between the two webpages is like finding the differences between a Dog and a Cat. Obviously ones more formatted and visually appealing. The layout is much better. Titles stand out more etc. The second is basically raw information. I much prefer the first page, because it stands out and I don't have to read as much useless information to get to what I want. When writing a webpage you always have to appeal to the reader. For example your looking for information on a homework assignment. You go to two different pages layed out similarly like the examples we were given. The first page looked beautiful but contained less information. The second very dull but more information. I'd say the reader is more inclined to read and use the information from the better looking site then the raw material presented on the second. I guess though the second site has one major benefit, its small, and thus its quick to load. Only gives you what you need.
