The Christian Science Monitor website review.

The purpose of the The Christian Science Monitor website is for information and archival sources. The purpose is achieved by making everything the site has to offer available in the basic layout. The author has somewhat misjudged the conventions of the web by making the person viewing it scroll down a couple of times. The audience is experienced with computers and older, likes to read the news and will scroll down for a story. As a woman I find the layout appealing, small but colorful photos of people. The content of the page is information rich, it is archival if you need it for that purpose. But the articles are set up in a manner of well-portioned chunks. The text is very clean and well organized, the lettering isn’t too difficult to read either. The graphics are tasteful and arranged well, nothing over the top to distract the reader from news. The loaded very quickly which I liked. The site is well organized into issues and into U.S or abroad. The Christian Science Monitor does require a lot of scrolling that might turn off some reader with less patience. No link rot that I’ve come across because I can’t find any links! I enjoy the design and layout of this website, it is fun.
