Website Comparison
I selected the topic Electronic Arts (EA) to conduct a website analysis for this project. In the study of EA, websites like “http://www.moonpod.com/” and “https://www.eaglegames.net/” are very informative. Both websites are designed in a simple style which makes them usable and readable. Indeed, the websites have differential coloration that allows them to informatively represent the kind of games on them. The usability of these websites is amplified using buttons like “shop now,” “play now,” and “buy now,” with a short description after every game picture. Moreover, the webs have different tabs that allow users to view and select the kind of games titles they want to participate in. Supplementary research used in the comparative analysis is the visitor’s metrics like duration at the website. The paper details a comparative analysis between Eagle and Moonpod Games websites based on their layout and diverse information.
The Eagle Games website is extemporary in informing its users of the products it offers. Indeed, the website offers a description of the games and the levels that players are likely to try. Additionally, the website describes the overall sequence of the game levels before a player can engage in a chosen game. This website also offers its users details on the packages of a game which pique their interests. Apart from these functionalities, the website provides uses with additional advertisements (“Eagle-Cryphon Games”). The adverts appear as a weakness because they present users with distractions that prevent them from enjoying their games. Fortunately, it is not excessively bad as it offers players a forum to schedule competitions and discuss the results.
On the other hand, the Moonpod Games website is basic and has a central news column right after the game’s adverts. Under the news board, the website explains the new features added to the games during release. Moreover, this website has a developed navigation bar on the left-hand side, allowing users to access different parts of its contents. Eye-catching screenshots and a synopsis accompany all the games presented on the website. The contents of the website change when one accesses a specific game, and the website becomes more descriptive of the game in a different content organization (“Moonpod Games: No Gimmicks, Just Games”). Overall, the design is simple but very effective in enhancing users’ interactions and the website.

Suksida and Santiworarak suggest that websites have interrelated backlinks. Based on the kind of visitors and clicks on the backlinks, the ranking of a website could rise. With this notion, the source can improve the rank of these two websites and segment users based on different factors. For instance, the users who use the eagle games website are constantly looking for discounts and competitions. On the other hand, the type of visitors who use the Moonpod website seek new releases and new features introduced in the computer games. The visitors record to aid in other website analysis procedures.
