To continue with the theme of looking at children’s websites that were educational, we looked at GCSE Bitesize. The reason we did this was because it was one of the mainly used websites for education in the UK, and also because it is seen as good for stimulating children’s minds because it appeals to them specifically, as well as making separate websites for each of their ages, such as KS2 or KS3.

This is the contents page for Bitesize. The reason why I liked this page was because the options are laid out neatly for the children to see, but also because they use graphics in a fun, very simple manner they can also keep the children entertained. However, I don’t like the lack of colour, as this makes the page look quite boring. However, upon further inspection the actual website itself is quite colourful, as seen here.

I like the idea of the use of contrasting colours because it will attract childrens’ eyes which will ensure that they read the information, which is exactly what we want to happen. However, I do still think that this page is rather boring, and that maybe graphics appearing around the edges of the website would be good. This is something to bear in mind when we are creating our products.
