This study found that three main elements are needed: consistent font style, consistent text and background color, a fast loading time, and well-placed hyperlinks. Hite and Railsback (2010) also determined that website development teams should possess several traits, such as marketing and technical skills and knowledge of user-interfaces and effective content. Because hyperlinks were noted as one of the most frustrating components for study participants, Hite and Railsback (2010) also suggest these design rules: do not use colors other than blue or photos/bullets as links, but do have an easy way to get to the home page. Hite and Railsback’s (2010) provide an excellent list of design elements that have been tested and proved, which will act as additional foundation for my analysis. I also plan to use their methods as a foundation for my own, since they were able to analyze a large amount of websites in a relatively short
The purpose of this evaluation is to analyze the HTML website ‘We the Fans’ and estimate the feasibility and overall functionality of the site. When creating websites, there are many factors which need to be considered to make a site look, function and feel professional.

Most of the world has been affected by the great influence technology has had upon us. Just a few decades ago, there were no such things as the Internet, websites, and mass produced digital technologies. The Internet is a critical aspect to the lives of most people on Earth. Whether people are using the Internet as part of the global economy or posting personal information on FaceBook, terms such as usability are very important. The paper will evaluate a website specifically dedicated to usability and spreading methods of effective usability. Websites take time, energy, and money to build; to build a website that people do not visit or that has low usability is a waste of those resources. Usability is a significant aspect to the lives of people who heavily rely on the Internet and without adequate website usability, the Internet would collapse.
Web developers are responsible for designing, coding and modifying websites, from layout to function and according to a client's specifications. They need create appealing sites that feature user-friendly design and easy to navigate through.
It is Baderman’s business objective that the website is accessible though all hardware devices, it could be a laptop, cell phones, PDAa, iPhone, or Blackberry, as long as it has access to internet, it should be able to browser Baderman’s website. With this in mind we recommend the use of Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). Instead embedding style with the web content, we use separate CSS document to indicate how the webpage will be rendered. This will give us the flexibility to build different style sheet for different mediums, for example; one each for PC, mobile devices and print friendly each. According to EzineArticles.com (2011), with CSS, web designing can be established by creating attractive pages with much flair. CSS Web Design provides web sites for businesses and organizations who want to use the internet to expand and develop their business. Choosing CSS as a sytlesheet for Baderman’s websites has many advantages.CSS
