Legibility (weight: 16.5/40)

Identify at least three labels which do not make sense.

"Package tript" . The word "tript" does not exist.

"California: Stay from $69". Stay means that you are already there.

The paragraph about Puerto Rico lacks of punctuation marks and some spaces.

 

How would you rephrase them?  

"Package trip"

"California from $69"

In the paragraph about Puerto Rico we would add all the punctuation marks which are missing. The result can be seen in the improved design.

 

Communication consistency (weight: 16.5/40)

Identify at least three inconsistencies in the use of the language.

It mixes french and english : "offres du jour", "Recommandations", "plan du site".

It uses different writing styles depending on the paragraph. In the second paragraph (Puerto Rico), for example,  there is only specific and descriptive information (there aren't any verbs), while in the other paragraphs they use a more direct speech.

The title "romantic cruises" doesn't correspond with its related text above.

 

Explain your solutions to resolve these consistency issues.  

The same language should be used all along the webpage. If you want to use more languages, replicate all the information in different pages.

We have changed the second paragraph in a more informal way, because it must be oriented to young people.

We have changed the title to "Romantic travel", and we have put it over its related text instead of underneath of it.

 

Typography (weight: 7/40)

Give some arguments for what might be problematic with the typography?

The titles of the offers are different. They should have the same typography.

One paragraph is written in bold and the others aren't.

At the bottom, "home" is underlined and in bold, while "plan du site" and "contact" aren't.

"login" and "password" use a different kind of font.

 

What would you do differently?

For the titles of the offers we would use, for example,  red colored text only for them, underlined words, starting with capital letters.

We wouldn't use bold style for plain text.

We would use both bold and underlining for all links.

It would be fine to use the same kind of font in all the web page, for example " Times new Roman".
