Pitchfork Analysis

  1. What was your first impression of this site?

    I found the general organization of the page on fist entrance to be fairly appealing as it showed me several things that may interest me
  2. How does this site organize the flow of information? (Do they have links on the left and text on the right? Some other scheme? No scheme?)

    The site organizes itself by splitting into columns like a classic newspaper showing off the article titles, so if you are interested you can click to learn more
  3. Does the site structure make sense or does it confuse you? Why?

    The site structure generally makes sense as it shows off many articles and lets me choose what I actually want to read about.
  4. Does the site graphics/layout/multimedia enhance the site or detract from it? Why?

    The site graphics seem to be pretty professional at least in my opinion since they are mostly very professional looking pictures and album covers.
  5. How long did it take for the home page to load? Was the load time reasonable?

    The page loaded in about half a second which is virtually unnoticeable.
  6. Was the text color and size readable? If a background color or image was used, did it enhance or detract from the site?

    The text color was black and grey on white, as well as white and grey on black which is very readable.
  7. Did the site have a navigation bar or other navigation tool? Was the navigation well done?

    The navigation bar was pretty useful allowing me to brows by: News, Reviews, Best new Music, Features, Lists, Columns, and Videos
  8. Did the site have a color scheme or look and feel that was repeated on all the pages?

    The color scheme of white on black heading and black on white everything else persists which while basic is functional
  9. How does the site respond to smaller window sizes (responsive design)?

    The only real big problem with resizing is that when you do it the ads don't really scale with the rest of the page
  10. What does this site offer that was unusual or very well done?

    I wouldn't say any one thing about the website was exceptionally good but it overall is very consistently high quality which I appreciate.
