Presidential Candidates
When searching for the presidential websites it was very easy to find the official website. I typed in the candidates name into google adn the first website was the official site. The websites are very user friendly and even someone with little experience can navigate the sites. Each has ways to donate or volunteer to help the campaign. Along with ways to view speeches and pictures. Barack Obamas website seems very friendly the first thing that caught my eye is neighbor to neighbor meaning he very friendly and wants to get involved in the everyday things that are going to impact your life. McCains site is laid out more politically with topics in the front and seems more official or business like. The websites are intended for all audiences it appears to me that a older person who has little internet experience could use one of the websites and get the information that they needed. However I feel like Obamas appeals to more people then McCains his site seems more friendly and open. It's clear that the designer of the web page wanted it to appeal to everyone in some way and have it accessible to all people. The websites are very organized and the tool bars at the top make it easy to find all information.

I agree with your points that both websites are fairly easy to follow. However I must say that I did not think McCain’s website looked business-like. I thought it just looked rough around the edges, and shy of professional. In this day and age if you are running a large business, or in this case running for presidency, there is no excuse after the millions of dollars received in campaign contributions that anyone’s website should look like this. I think it was very poorly designed, and should be made even more user friendly.
