Olympic Games Website
The Olympic Games have started and it’s been a pretty good show so far. There’s a lot of events, and I like to follow certain sports, but I can’t really stay glued in front of the TV on several channels throughout the entire day. I don’t think clients would be very happy. I do like to check out their websites to keep up with the latest standings and results. For as long as I can remember using Olympic websites they’ve all been pretty good.
They offer the overall package: good design, good user interface, and best of all good functionality. I’m able to find what I need in a pretty effective manner. It’s nice to see that over the course of many years, even larger sites have transitioned into XHTML/CSS. It’s been a long process, but I think many companies and organizations have seen the benefit.
NBC’s Olympic website does a good job as well. I think people put more time into websites that will see a lot of traffic in bursts. Of course these websites probably get the bulk of their traffic hit during times like this so it’s a good chance to shine in front of a large audience.
Well, that’s all I really have. Do you like the Olympic sites or do you think some things could be improved?
