The tagline of SitePoint is “New Articles, Fresh Thinking for Web Developers and Designers”, and rightly so as the website exudes a fresh and professional ambience the moment one reaches the home page. The site attempts to make search for information extremely simple for any visitor.

Design and Layout

The home page has a modern, disciplined and uniform look that from the very first moment tells the visitor that the website means business. The white background, the black and navy blue fonts, the bold black and navy blue headings and the relevant logos beside each topic make the website very attractive and impart an effectiveness about it.

Key Features

SitePoint is known for features like videos, blogs, contests, articles, kits and forums. The home page projects the best articles and blogs posted, in the “Editor’s Choice” section. Blogs on current affairs and news are featured in the “News & Trends” portion. Articles and blogs that cover the subject of web designing are separately kept in a section titled “Design”. Materials posted recently in this section are projected in a separate sub-section titled “Recently in Design” that has links leading to the recent forums. “Tech” and “Business” are two other sections having contents related to the technology and business of websites, web designing and developing.

Navigation and Functionality

The home page has a simple top menu with buttons for all the principal features of SitePoint. The “Editor’s Choice” list is on the right while all the other sections are systematically arranged below, one after the other. The clearly defined tabs and headings do not call for any confusion.

Clicking on a blog or article title brings one to the main content that is arranged and formatted with relevant sub-headings.

The loading time for the pages and sections is nominal. The font size and color make the text legible and the menu buttons, text links and sub-categories make the website extremely user-friendly and crisp.

SitePoint is a website for the present generation of no-nonsense web designers and developers who have time for only what they need.
