FEEDBACK
Week 1

General Feedback:
As in overall, a good website must have a consistent design on different web page in terms of layout, colour and typeface. Content must be well structured, organized and try to be infographic. Images could be destroy the whole website even though there is a good design layout. User experience is the most important criteria, in order to achieve this, can try to enhance on engagement of the overall experience with music and controllable animation as well as "call to action".
