YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit's Camping Services this website provides information on courses that are going to be conducted. Viewers can use the site to register for programmes and the can also read feed back from participants.
The site is easy to navigate through. The main purpose of the site is to advertise their courses, they have placed this information in the main surfing area, they also made these links more attractive by placing a photographs with the links this will draw people to view the more important information. The quick links section directs people to important sections like "register for camp" or "session dates", these links direct people straight away and makes it faster for them to get information they want.
The design of the site is quite interesting, its shapes and fun design make it attractive to both parents and children. The photos allow viewers to see the actual courses being conducted; it provides users with a real and positive view of the camp.
The site contains a lot of information, it is arranged systematically but in very large chunks. Users have to scroll down a lot to read information. Links have been provided only on top so that users can go to a particular section within that page, but users still have to scroll to the top again to select a new link. A link should be place at the end of each section.
The virtual tour makes the site more interactive an gives users a view of thr camping grounds.
Overall i think the design gives out a fun feeling , the colours used give a warm and outdoor feeling to the site and i think it represents the camp well. The designers have made this site homely, like a kind of scrap book, i think this will attract viewers to their programmes.
