Website Evaluation of The Clothes Tree

The criteria used to evaluate http://www.clothestree.net/ (The Clothes Tree) is as follows:

Authority & Responsibility: There is contact information listed, the author of the website design is at the bottom of the page. They are also upfront with their purpose and give reference to the designer of the web site.

Purpose and Objectivity: The purpose of the website is stated on the home page. It is a business that sells used children's clothes and uses .net to convey that it is a is serviced by an Internet Service Provider. I didn't notice any bias on the part of the new owners of the store, so the information presented is useful to the targeted audience.

Appropriateness & Relevance: The content of the website is appropriate for the target market, which is parents with children and the opportunity to buy used children's clothing as a low price. It also lists what clothing they buy from the public and the new processes under the new management.

Currency, Clarity, Accessibility: The information appears to be current on the page listing their last special sale on Labor Day and prior to that they informed their audience that the store is under new management. The use a blog to relay the information. Navigation is easy to follow. I didn't notice that they have a text-only alternative for the visually impaired.
