Website Reflection

I think my website is turning out well. Creating certain things is somewhat difficult, but it's interesting to finally figure out how people make these websites.

3 Good Websites; 1 Bad Website

https://www.google.com/

-Brings results up very quick and easy to use

https://www.youtube.com/

-easy to find videos, search tool is on the home page; convenient

http://www.pandora.com/

-simple layout, easy to find different stations, has almost every music genre

http://www.ask.com/

-I hate everything about this website. Search results aren't usually accurate, hard to find what you're looking for, and brings up results that have nothing to do with what you searched for.
