For both competition categories, the competition would be evaluated basically on the following criteria:
Content (20 points)
Web content should expertly explore the chosen topic as evidenced by the depth and relevance of information to the chosen web design or development topic. Content extracted from another site should be referenced. Writing should equally be concise and easy to understand with correct grammar, punctuation and spelling in English Language. Cool Java scripts, graphics, and other features could be used in enhancing the content but should not be the content as they provide no useful information on their own.
Navigability (20 points)
The web structure or organization should allow for easy transition between sections so as to hold the reader’s attention. All links should be up-to-date and working as no "under construction" links should be present. While many large sites have site maps, navigation bars, search engines, etc. to help the user find the appropriate information, it is by no means required.
Originality of Work (15 points)
Website should be creative and original in its approach to presenting the topic. A variety of information sources may be used, including primary sources such as interviews, surveys, personal observations, and original artwork or multimedia recordings.
Overall Presentation (20points)
Presentation will be judged not only on its originality but on how well it "works" with the content to provide the user with a pleasant viewing experience. The site’s design and layout should be easy to use with every page visually well organized. Colors, fonts, and overall layout are left to the discretion of the contestants but they should be creative, artistic and consistent across the website in such a way as to not interfere with the ability to easily read content. Technical problems such as broken links or images, missing files, etc should be avoided. Remember that Presentation reflects your style!
Portability (15 points)
Different web browsers on different computer screen resolutions may result in significantly differing renderings of the same page. You should attempt to make your Web pages relatively portable across different browsers, including both text and graphical browsers, and different screen sizes. Portability will be primarily tested by resizing the screen and probably using different browsers to access the site.
Load time (10 points)
Load time is typically a function of file size, using smaller images and pages results in faster loading. You should try to ensure that your page loads within a reasonable amount of time by optimizing your content such as the images, animation, scripts etc. Remember that the use of Javascript and other multimedia elements can also affect load time. A large amount of images, scripts, etc. on a page can also increase the load time. Load time is part of the experience of viewing your page, however, content, presentation, and navigability are generally more important factors. Thus, load time is only worth 10 points.
