Visual Aesthetics – 7
I love the header of Apartment New York City – it seems to fit the theme of the blog perfectly! However, the rest of the blog seems to be lacking sorely in the visual aspect. The color theme, which is gray, is good, but the fonts which are light and really small do not add to the attractiveness of the blog. The formatting also takes away from the visual experience. I could do with less intrusive ads, for one, and more relevant photos would be nice.
User Friendliness – 8
There is not that much content in terms of blog posts so it should not be that hard to move around the site. However, I think that the archives and labels could be found in a better location so as to assist readers more. Also, the ads and formatting also make for more scrolling on the reader’s part. This aspect could use some work as well.
Reading Enjoyment – 9
The site is more for informative purposes than to amuse anyone but it generally has well-written posts that make for an easy read. However, there were some posts which I could not understand due to abbreviations. Now I understand the need for such abbreviations in the classifieds but the blog is not really short on space so I think it would be much better for the words to be spelled out.
Useful Info – 10
