After receiving feedback from my peers and teacher about the overall design of our website, including drafts, I decided to compare our website to other children’s websites on space. This was quite difficult because as we had seen before a lot of the websites were actually games, not educational, and so it was hard to find something that would exactly match what we were trying to create. However, I did manage to find a couple of websites that were similar to ours in the sense that they were also clearly fact-based.

These are what I have found. I feel like our design does match up quite well with these websites, and perhaps even looks better in some aspects. For example, these websites to me feel a little boring, because there is a lot of text and not enough graphics or bright colours to simulate children and to invite them to use them. Although ‘Planets for Kids’ does use more images than StarDate, I feel like these images are a little dull because they seem just to be copied and pasted from another source. This is one of the reasons why we decided to actually hand-made our graphics. Overall, I don’t feel like these websites do that good of a job in comparison to our website, which I feel is a lot more fun.
