Q: evaluate the site according to the seven C's of effective website design.
A: Businessinsider.com
The 7 C's of the businessinsider.com:
1. Choices: The choices provided in the web page are not too much. There are only 6 main categorized choices of news. One page of most trending news, one page of summary news and one page of videos.
The choices are made very clear and easy for readers to find.
2. Social validation: The information provided in this website are varied. However, it does not come with customer's review directly in the web.
3. Scarcity: Businessinsider only provides unbiased information and numbers. Thus, the information is not too much and not inaccurate, which make the web more valuable.
4. Unconscious mind: The website does have contents that attract the unconscious mind of human, which contains food, sex and danger. This, means that the page is attractive.
5. Power of faces: The website does come with pictures and the pictures are eye catching as well.
6. Story: So far, from my experiences, businessinsider.com does use story form on their posts, which is a positive thing and one of the best form to follow.
7. Commitment: the website does commit with its kind of news and views for quite a long term, actually since the first day until now. Its commitment is another positive attraction towards to viewers.
