The website is very consistent when it comes to the color green. It use different shades of green and yellow for certain buttons and such to blend in with their logo.

There is a lot of freedom on the site. You have the option to go and click and do many different things. On top of that they are all clearly labeled with bright green.

    pretty good because it has a funky lil animation when i go             to get a burger

2) Match between system and the real world: 7/10
pretty drippy
menu had this aesthetic small fries design theme

3) User control and freedom: 8/10

it was cool because i could get all the maccas on one page, and it even had a menu where i can look at the food but not get it because im poor

4) Error prevention: 6/10

when i went to the dodgy side of mcdonalds.com it told me to check the url and refresh the page, although some old lady probably doesnt know what a url is so 6/10

Monkeytype gives you a very clear objective on what you can and cannot click; everything on the website lights up on hover. It is very clear what to do on the website, as soon as you enter the website you are given a prompt to type, you can tell you are meant to type it by the blinking line that appears when typing / idle. After completing a typing test, it is not too clear on what to do after, there is a row of buttons that tell you what they do on hover. informing you what you are able to click and what you can't. 9/10

Consistency And Standards:
The entire website consist of a yellow, grey and white theme. not once in the website is there any other color. You can even go to the options and change the color of the theme to suit your liking. 10/10

Recognition Rather Than Recall:
Every clickable button have its own little icon that can represent what it is. Unfortunately this is not the better choice rather than telling you what it does. Some buttons do tell you what they do on hover, some just light up. Because of inconsistency it is a 5/10 

Flexibility And Efficiency Of Use:
This website is incredible in terms of flexibility. Every single action has its own shortcut, and while it may not be the easiest to learn how to do them, it does tell you at the bottom of the completed page the main shortcuts. once you do figure it out you can basically use the entire website on your keyboard. 7.5/10

Good system status when you hover over a product or menu tab the cursor changes into a hand. Which makes it very clear what you can and can't do.

2)User control and Freedom:
The footlocker  has good user control. If you accidently click on something you can easily just go back by clicking the back arrow. If you have been viewing at multiple products and want to go back to the home page you can just simply click on the logo at the top of the page.

3)Recognition rather than recall
Footlocker has the picture of all the products to show what they look like when browsing instead of just the name.

1) Visibility of system status:  
7/10

Good system statues and I am able to see what I am clicking on when I hover my mouse over the button it changes to a different shade or it underlines the word.

2) match between system and the real world: 
5/10

The match between the two is very similar but when it comes to listing stuff they don't make it realistic.

3) Error prevention: 
9/10

they have good error prevention and they let you know by saying that something is out of stock so they aren't going to list it and then you can click on the link to see the out of stock stuff.

4) flexibility and efficiency of use:  
10/10

from inexperienced people to people that can use the website with their eyes closed the website is very informational and you are able to navigate your way around the place really easily.

*5* and the logo is also nice and has good colouring.

For example, if you wanted to download Fortnite you don't have to download other apps or files, just the epic games launcher and the game you wanted.

2)Match between the system and the real world: 6/10 Between the system and the real world, they are slightly similar, but when it comes to listing things, it is slightly different/or realistic.

3) Error Prevention: 7/10 They have great error prevention. For example, when you are buying GTAV, they will either prevent errors from not having enough money or filling the numbers incorrectly.

4) User Control and freedom: 6.5/10 Not epic games' games cost money, but some games are free as well as they don't have to pay for some game such as rocket league and Fortnite. And unlike Youtube or Spotify, they don't have any premiums.

1. The webpage allows the user to click back to the home page if they click on the wrong anime show. This gives users freedom and control of where they can go.

2. This user interface shows them the image of the show A.K.A showing an image of Attack on titan then just telling them with text what the show is. This allows the user to recognize it instead of having to recall what show it is.

3. The color pallet is an iconic black background for the show with either a cyan or orange color for the big image and a line underneath the white text to make it easier to recognize. It is consistent even if you scroll down to the very bottom of the webpage

4. This UI webpage uses a lot of visibility of system status. If you hover above an amine show, the cursor change to show that you can click on the show, and the background color of the show which is usually black lightens up into gray. This tells the user that it is responding to the user's movement of the cursor.

Most sections do not need explanations as they are logical and make sense to the reader.

When you hover over each subheading it lights up indicating a button

Match between system and the real world -  The website makes it easy to tell what part of the website you are on by keeping their title/subheading nice and short with simple terms

 User control and freedom - When you click on a title/subheading a drop-down menu will appear showing multiple different things that are on this part of the website, It is easy to go back to the home page as you can either click on the logo or click the subheading/title again and the drop-down menu will retract itself.
