Really the only website that I ever visit, other than social media, is ESPN<\/a>. It is the easiest way to keep up with what is going on in the world of sports even though a lot of things that are posted on the site are biased. Still, it is just a website for games and sports so for me it is just fun and entertainment.<\/p>\n

\"ESPN<\/a>

The title page of the ESPN website<\/p><\/div>\n

When first visiting the website, everything that is ‘above the digital fold’ so to speak is very neat and sleek looking as I would expect from a sports page. It is also very organized and detailed as Americans love their stat lines and numbers on everything sports. To Americans, sports is a science and ESPN does a good job of making this science seem cool. Upon scrolling down the cool, red background fades into a white and stays white the entire way down the page. Actually, it is like this on every page of the website. This to me seems almost lazy. I think I would enjoy something more edgy and eye catching to continue down the length of the page instead of just being a top of the page attention-grabber.<\/p>\n

\"ESPN\"<\/a>

The bottom of the page of the ESPN website is white<\/p><\/div>\n

I do like how organized all the links are and clearly defined, so navigation throughout the site is relatively easy. However, on the main page there is usually a scrolling list of video thumbnails which I would consider the “main headlines” of the site and when I click on these videos it takes me to a different page. Most of the time the video that I click on is not the story that will be playing. It is some other story from “college football” or whatever it was that I tried to watch and this seems very odd to me from a news source.<\/p>\n

All in all though the thing that always drives me back to the site is content. I don’t care too much about it being super flashy or anything like that. I care that the site is easy to navigate so I can find out about the sports that I am looking for. On the whole the content and sports entertainment coverage of the site is unparalleled anywhere else on the web.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
