- My favorite sites are as followed: Tumblr https://www.tumblr.com/ and Amazon http://www.amazon.com/
- How do they compare to your research? My favorite websites follow the rules that web editors recommend you should follow. They are easy to follow, there is not too much going on. The colors contrast which makes it convenient for the reader.
- What would you change about the site? For the most part I would not change anything about the websites. Everything is already accessible and easy to use.
- What do you like about your favorite website and why do you keep coming back? Because it strikes my interest.
