Website: http://wix.to/U8DMAGo

Note: I edited your Padlet layout to this "Wall" layout to make it easier to read, and for you to NOT miss this feedback box.

Good areas:

I like that your homepage is short and I only need to scroll twice to get to the bottom of the page - good!

Areas for improvement:

It is obvious that the different pages are done by different individuals. This is a group project so ensure that your website has a uniform theme/flow throughout. Now, it just looks disjointed.

Choose your font type carefully. Balance it with being creative and being hard to read! E.g. Places to eat - the font type is hard to read. I can't quite figure out what are the food items. Also, the font for this Padlet makes it hard to read/see! The font type is extremely thin.

I can't comment much as most of your site is empty and looks half finished.

Who is your website targeting, i.e. target market? It does not show up on your website. Good to put a page on target market and explain briefly about their profile and/or why you chose them.

For each section e.g. Attractions - Add a short paragraph on why the places you chose are suitable for your target market.

Keep one page for "References" where you list down all the websites/images you used in APA format.

Please remember to read the marking scheme for Group Project when making improvements. I will see you online on Google Hangout for Online Consultation 3 in the week of 3 Dec 2018.

Thank you.
