Introduction

I am junior web designer for pixel design and I have been ask to compare between man u united and MTV. I will be
identifying the differences between the two websites looking at how the layouts and new features of the websites and what's
catches the audience attention and how it entertains the views and aspects as a viewer.
Intended use of mtv.com
The purpose of this page is to present top hits of news, the latest drama, your celebrity crush, and their lifestyle; the top hit
trends and music videos is purposely directed at young adults to catch their interest, to gossip about what's going on around the
world. Not only that, MTV has TV shows, so the audience has a variety of features to choose from music TV shows. Full
episodes to live tv to amuse the audience. On the first page, it shows activities that upcoming celebrities are doing. To catch
viewers' attention MTV has also started giving out exclusive content for people that subscribe to them, making the business
expand and building profit the marketing and business strategies to advance the business from what it started. The first-page
website is very standard and not complex like other websites making it red and black, which is a unique style so the audience
won't be out of sight or affect their eyesight.
Intended use of manutd.com
The purpose of the Manchester united website is for football fan lovers that support Manchester united football and want to stay up to
update that want to know what the favorite team or player is up to. Man United also have their own shop you can visit which is great for the
fan supporters. The background color is dull I suggest website colors should be red and orange to symbol their Manchester united logo so it
looks more appealing. The website also gives out tickets before the season so you can be one those fans that can pre-order tickets a few
things are in common with MTV is that Manchester united also have their own news and videos to entertain their audience. Man United
have their own men and women football players sector for not just men audience but for women that love to watch football. The team also
give you background information on how the team started had who the main players were.
Features of mtv.com
The features of MTV is that they have linked buttons that takes you directly to the page you're looking for. Also having blogs
pages showing the current features of their website and latest top trends to this dynamic page which often means that the website
will change or update often and won't have the same information or old blogs videos of pages this is because Mtv what what
develop more into their websites to intrigue the audience and views, MTV have their own twitter and facebook page that share
information on twitter or facebook before its changed on to the websites. The site have just recently a new launch on the website
which has reality tv shows. The show is constantly is thinking of news ways to entertain its audience.
Features of manutd.com

The design interface of the website is done really well and is quite unique. The brand is very eye-catching because of the
logo, you can see how clearly it states the brand. Everything that is shown on the website is well organized and navigated as
all the buttons and links are all displayed. The website is also dynamic as the site updates regularly showing new features
such as sharing page where you share man utd news all over facebook and other social media sites. The site also has
regularly new blogs showing how men and women train and how their day to day training is. The site also has a new feature
called fixture, which is a for people that don't have access to watch the match live or even for people that are on the go or
really busy that just don't have the time to watch football but want to keep up with the score and want to know the final
scores.
How the website features that are used improve

mtv.com

The text of the website is quite up to the person's preference because some audience might like the writing in bold and
some others might like the writing to be small. The color of the website looks normal, there's nothing about the website
color that surprises me, maybe if they were to use more prime colors to catch audience attention. The size of the text is
sans/serif which is best to use on website because serif fonts have more detail, they tend to work better in larger sizes.
And color they have chosen not to be bright, not to be simple. Overall, looking at website, i feel like the MTV website looks
like a private secure website, something you would find in a movie the way the page layout and the colors they have
chosen black, red, white shows to be that they have exclusive content that exclusive members have access to.
mtv.com
Useability
Yes, they are links and buttons on MTV which is very easy to navigate and use as you scroll down there are a lot of links you can go through
and discover more as you go along. The menu is fairly easy to navigate and find the given information on the website it also FAQ/HELP page
for those who don't know how to use the site which is very useful to those who find it difficult. Information is already on the homepage so it's
easy to find what you're looking for. It also has a search engine in the top right corner so you could search for any tv shows or celebrities
Overall I think that the website is easy to use has all the tools you need to be entertained. I think it's a good thing that website is not complex
because they might be a few adults that might not be able to use a website.

Accessibility
For the video and images yes they do have a short description of the video giving you a short storyline of the video rather than giving
you a trailer which could interest the audience more if they are very imaginative. for the people that can't hear can read the subtitle
and know what's going on throughout the video. The webpage doesn't really have any features or affect that could help people that
have problems with their eyes sight apart from putting the brightness down to reduce eyesight problems. This could be a feature they
should get in the future for blind people that have problems with their eyesight. It also has instructions to follow if you want to activate
subtitle or heading the HElP/FQ for any help. Apart from that, I think it doesn't really help as much to people that are vulnerable or
have any other disorder or any other problem.

Performance

As you can see the website works well in both browsers this is because internet explorer and google chrome are very similar
nothing will change or be different as they both have the same fundamental purposes but some new key features this is because
google chrome is always developing and making new this is because google is static developing new features. Whereas internet
explorer is static and does not update as regularly. Both browsers have the same views practically the same and are not very
different apart. some people like to use google chrome because people, like google chrome, are more efficient and more to use. it
might be different if your use by laptop tablet or phone is much more different use because it might give you differentiate
instructions to get to the page ur looking for overall the pages work the same every button and link also work well.
Strengths & Weaknesses of mtv.com
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES

Bald writing so audience can see way better should have more colours to spark the audience
Easy to use so the audience usability is good attention should have more more feature for with
has a lot of links and buttons to interest the vision impairment so variety of audience can use it
audience displaying different types of features have more images than videos

The website looks like a regular football fan page full of information about the team and how they're progressing
throughout and any updates. The color of the page is red and white which looks but I feel like if they had the color
orange to match their own brand label it would look better. The size of the text is a bold white text which is good for the
audience as it is large and very easy to see as text is very large. I feel that it would appeal to anyone that is man utd fan
as they are just concerned about the team and not the look of it as much. Yes, they are social media links if you right
below at the bottom page they are links to Instagram and Twitter where you reach exclusive content to see what they
have and what new and stay updated.
manutd.com

on the website is very to use as soon as you come on to the website use can see link and buttons so i would say it's very easy to
use as it has all the information needed on the team. Overall to navigate the website is very to use because every time you scroll
down their always a link where ever you go. And if you were looking for something particular they always a search engine on the
top right and corner so you cloud search for anything particular that you're looking for. The menu is very also very easy as
everything you need to know will be on the first page with information or text. if you was looking to buy something from man united
their and shop place where can buy accessories and t-shirts to support the team. overall i think this is a very good website for
football fans.

Accessibility

The description of the videos are very short as they don't describe much of the video which i feel like its a downfall because of that
people that can't hear wouldn't know as much information from the videos and for hearing impairment there is nothing to help
people from hearing impairment neither are they subtitles which means it wouldn't be suitable for people that suffer from hearing
loss. Also when hovering over the video nothing will appear meaning you would have to click on the video for you to actually watch
the video. Although the colours are suitable for the page as is white red which are two colour that contrast really well together
which is good advantage as they both colours are not to dark or bright. The visual of the video is up to high standards as it comes
in HD so view can watch in the highest visuals.

Performance
Google and internet explorer are both the exact same there is no difference between them, they all have the same videos same
updates and same colour. Nothing has really changed on the websites they all give the same amount of information but on
different devices such as phones, tablet and ipads, they are very different and small as it small to fit the the display the phone or
tablet which you are using as you can see in the bottom left and corner you can see the view has changed on a phone
perspective you can clearly see it has changed to fit the page on to the phone. If you look carefully you can see that the images
has changed sizes, you will also see that the buttons will no longer be their so you would have to scroll down to find the shop
button but on different browsers they are all the same because internet explorer and google chrome are very similar to each
other.
Strengths & Weaknesses
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES

1. Everything is in working order, images 1. No hearing impairment, no subtitles on


work well, colour are up to correct videos, the buttons disappear when your on a
standard to the man united logo phone perspective.
Conclusion/which website is the best
Overall the video i like the most is the MTV website because its has everything that will catch your attention from videos from font,
size to colour, and the visuals that will really entertain the audience in many words just the amount of information they have on the
page give you a good understanding of the website and its purposes of the website is. Is also well organised and not all in your faces
as everything has bit won sectors and videos and information keeping you updates on everything you need to know about the
website. Navigating is very easy and simple others might find it difficult at first but once you get the hang of you can actually see that
is very easy and not complex. I also like the new features they use such as the discover more page will show you more information
and short clips for your entertainment.
