NORTHEAST NSN

NSN: Your hometown sports specialists.

NSN northeast kingdom is the defination of an organized and eye-catching website. There is no overload of information or stimulation. On the left side is a photo slide show of local sports events. Now, Ill be the first to admiit that baseball, soccer, and football are not my cup of tea but I can definately appreciate the quick mind capturing information and the paced photo slideshow that is certain to keep viewers interested.

The small caption under the picture is a nice multimedia outlet that also allows for some interactivity as the viewers can click and choose similar pictures. Next to the photo slideshow is a gray box that covers the upcoming games. The short information blurbs telling the teams, time, and sport is effective and easy to follow. there is no filler information that the reader skims through. It is bare-bones media that is sure to keep the reader on the page.

The best part about the homepage is that the everything the viewer wants to see is right up on the top of the page so that scrolling isn't as necessary as other website, which is important considering websites lose viewers as the page scrolls down. As the page scrolls viewers become less interested.

Each piece of text on the website has large sized font with easy to understand paragrpahs and long headlines to tell the viewer what the report will be about. One of the coolest features on each articles in the rating 

feature.This not only allows the viewer an opportunity to actively participate on the website but it also gives the website owners and reporters a better idea of what is working for readers and what isn't. 

Also there is a scroll bar on the side of the article rather than on the side of monitor. This allows for the readers eyes to stray less from the page and the words the website wants them to read.

One other things i saw on the website was a flock of ads and as an avid computer goer i can speak for everyone by saying, ads are annoying, but the way NSN has set them up in the corner and on the bottom of the page so that it doesnt distract the reader or pull them out of the story. besides, how could I not support a website that advertises my favorite school--go LSC hornets!
