In my personal opinion I don't think the website has suitable colours for people with visual the background is mainly with a bit of
other colours like red and black its just nothing but plain white there isn't a way to change the colour of the background to a darker
colour for people with visual problems to see clearly.

well as other options for people that have a disability you can't change the size of the writing.

Conclusion/which website is the best
Which website do you prefer the best and why? Do you like the features? Do you like the navigation bar? Colour? Font type?

Minimum of 150 words

I prefer the Manchester United website since its more modern and has a wide range of options including being able to change
language this means if I was speaking another Language i can change to Language of the website to my Language i also like that
they have a survey to fill out this allows me to give back feedback to the people who run the website, another thing I like is that the
images move when I move over them this allows me to see them clearly. The colour i like its very bright and colourful whilst on the
other hand the MTV one had dark colours meaning it was boring. The navigation was simple for both Manchester United and MTV
easy to navigate. Manchester United website had more features than MTV it had a survey for people it also had the ability to change
language on the other hand MTV didn't have these features. The font type i like very clear for me to see same for MTV.

Overall the best website is Manchester United website over MTV for the reasons I stated about them both to me Manchester United
is up to date whilst MTV isn't and is outdated.
