These days every review is based on a magazine, a video game, hotels, places and many other things or locations. But today, it’s the first time that I have ever encountered to review a website. I chose to review the website http://www.maryrosewood.com. The aforementioned website is the official website of Maryrose Wood, who is also the author of the website. The site mentions her notable works that include novels, videos and articles.
Maryrose Wood, 46, is an avid reader and loves listening to music. She attended New York University from 1992 to 1996, majoring in dramatic writing which can be seen in her works. The author writes funny, romantic and magical books for college students.
The site has a yellow background. The major information is centered to the page with links and other media projected to the left and right of the central part. Her notable works have been cited in these left and right parts of the site. The site includes two videos, first one about the collection of six-word memoirs and the other about the author’s new book. The site also provides various links which give information about author’s books and articles or other related articles. Every article in the site is expressed visually by the author either by some photo or by video which attracts the attention of the reader. Site allows readers to give comments on every article which are displayed only when the author approves them. The site is really informative to a college student and through its presentation tries to attract the attention of a typical college student. Unfortunately, though the site is colorful and well structured, there is lack of flash or java. Nowhere in the site has either of these been implemented. Overall, due to the lack of flash and java, the website looks dull as there is no activity at all.
Since the author writes only for the teen, the site has articles that interest college students. The articles are not only informative, but also let them know about the view point of the experienced author. The articles are also related to day to day activities of students. Some articles are also based on special events like the article on super bowl. The author also informs her readers about various events like reading weeks in different parts of country. The site also tells about the books written by the author. All these books are based on the life of a college student where author emphasizes on different aspects of life of a college student. The site is not only targeting college students but also high school students and people who are not in college.
The author uses a good range of vocabulary in her articles which are suitable for college students. There is a good sense of humor in her articles which attracts readers. Reader from all age groups finds her articles interesting. Good use of vocabulary and idioms at proper places serves her purpose well to educate students. Heading and sub-headings of the articles are really interesting for readers. They not only give an idea about the article but also succeed in maintaining the interest of the readers i.e. college students like the article on super bowl compares between two individuals which have the same last name are equally popular among students. Every article in the website has some link or the other which gives more information about the article, so if anyone wants to know in detail about the article , they can easily get the information.
Maryrose Wood did a good job in maintaining a website that’s constantly updated. Though very dull looking, it really is quite informative. Wood has taken into consideration everything that she likes and dislikes and has also welcome comments from others. She has very good ideas of what she was doing and hence the website came off to be good. Though there are some hinges loose here and there, but taking every criterion into consideration, the website has been well projected.
