To be done as an individual.
Using search engines (see  www.witiger.com/ecommerce/searchengineissues.htm ) examine 5 online business web sites from a
selected category
For Tourism students, you could do something like 5 sites related

• hotels
• attractions
• vacation resorts
• small airlines
• rental cars
• water sports
• sightseeing
• nightlife
• special events
• cruise lines
• bus tours
• rail packages
• conferences and trade shows

You may want to choose a category similar to the one you will be working with for your Storefront Project. Rank the sites according to a  system to show how you rate them - for example, a star system where 5 stars is the best.

Discuss each site using the following criteria to make comments.
 

o First impressions: design, layout, graphics, fonts, colours, etc. o Navigation - ease of use, links o If material is current and up to date o Problems observed - difficulties, hype, misleading materials o Useful applications for customers and other site visitors o E-commerce considerations (ie: security regarding method of payment) o Additional comments o Improvements - things you'd change, in your opinion

you will be graded with a letter which will be converted to a mark out of 15 the table explaining this is to the left

Convert this information to a web page and provide the link to it, so it  can be seen on your main page
- your main page will be http://learn.senecac.on.ca/~XXXXXXX/TCS301/

 Using a table format is recommended.  You will want to include an introduction to your report. Please include graphics and links where appropriate and proper navigation.
