This is the website for Amnesty International. The site provides information to the users on Amnesty International and information on situations that it’s covering.
The site is mainly in html, the main page looks quite cluttered because they have tried to fit a lot of information on it, but all the information place are important updates on situations and campaigns.
They know users will have to scroll down to view the information, so they have placed another set of links at the bottom to make it easier for users.
The navigation is a little messy and you often find yourself lost and un able to find what you are looking for, for example I was look in for the “Stop Violence Against Women” campaign when I clicked on the link to the “Stop Violence Against Women” campaign I found myself in a sub link that had many other sub links. Breadcrumb navigation was provided but its only 2 levels the main link and then the sub link. I don think this is enough as there are many other links within the links themselves.
The site uses flash to present some of its campaigns. This is good as it makes the site more interactive and can make people more interested in being active for causes. Html versions are provided also which is useful for people who don’t have flash, of have slower connections.This website has to be able to reach as many people as possible to spread awareness on various serious issues, so by making a hybrid site it makes it easier for most people to access. The flash components make the presentations and campaigns more interactive and dramatic; it appeals audio visually to users
