Conclusion
The report conclusion shows that besides accuracy of information; a websites design is almost as important. The hypothesis is because although the information might be informative, the lack of a user-friendly interface might repulse the user away or make them browse less thoroughly. To prevent the latter, an appealing webpage must be deduced by its navigation technique to the different layouts as well as its behavior for example mouse hover, fonts, icons etc. Although not seen, the user experience is highly dependent on the web technologies behind the webpage rather than just its look. Therefore, to conclude efforts made in the content is just as important as effort needed in the web design.
