What makes a website good? What makes a website bad? In my opinion, good websites tend to stand out, have large-scale customer bases, and can be trusted. On the other hand, a bad website can consist of a non-trustworthy site, and selling products that are poor quality. To go more into depth excellent websites act as digital brand advocates, fusing design and function to provide an unmatched user experience. They welcome guests with simple layouts that lead them with ease through an eye-catching trip. Accessibility across devices is ensured by well-positioned calls-to-action, responsive design, and clear navigation, meeting the varied needs of contemporary users. Similar to Amazon, a model website that I chose as my example, the website is easy to use, the products are of the highest quality, and it is extremely user-friendly.  


Bad websites, on the other hand, are like digital wilderness, where frustration and uncertainty are there at every turn. Visitors are overwhelmed by cluttered layouts, which conceal important information beneath visual clutter. Users are left trapped and unable to find their way ahead by navigation that resembles a maze. Antiquated layouts and sluggish loading speeds indicate disregard, turning off potential clients and undermining the legitimacy of the business. Content that is insufficient, pointless, or rife with mistakes may not interest or benefit the viewer. Shein is the example I chose for a poorly done website because it meets the criteria shown above. The foundation of this platform is poor quality goods for unrealistic cheap prices, the website itself is cluttered and overwhelming.

 Emily Nelson Social Media Etiquette - Instagram Matt Rife example How to carry yourself in an online environment is very important, social media etiquette should be a staple in everyone's online presence.

These things are prohibited on the app of Instagram for a reason and all of the things listed above are problematic and harmful.

Instagram in the Business World

Emily Nelson 03/26/24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU655jcNxKA Instagram has been around since 2010 and is still being used to this day as a social media platform that connects people. As well as being a form of how you express yourself with your own posts. Instagram is a user-friendly platform and as long as you respect the guidelines and do not post anything problematic Instagram is an amazing outlet. It is also a great tool for not only personal use but for the business world as well. Social media marketing from all platforms cut companies' marketing budgets in half therefore saving for revenue that can later be distributed throughout the company. This is a key fact that helped get the ball rolling for Instagram to take things a step forward.  Instagram allows businesses to run stores through their platform making it easy to reach customers because all they have to do is go on Instagram and tap a post that is linked to a shop on that person's account.
