Page Chosen: http://www.survivingdiabetes.com/foodlists.htm

The alignment chosen and alignment contrast is a combination of centered and left margin, with contrast based on the image and format of the page.

The navigation buttons are aligned centered in the page and are .jpeg.  The main body of the page is set with tables. 

The title on the page is not only centered but far from the main image and from the text.  The subtitles have more space above then than below them and can be seen clearly on the page.  This was accomplished by using a larger font size than the body of the page.

The alignment and contrast is constant throughout the entire site.  There is a lot of real estate space wasted and could be maximized by rearranging the page. 

The contrast of the page, is set by the color of the background, image and font.  The overall contrast works very well and it is easy to read and to understand. However, the first item on the list is of a different color and needs to be corrected to match the rest of the page.

The focal point of the page is the image.  The navigation buttons are .jpegs and there is no navigation bar at top of the page.  The person viewing the page has to do a lot of scrolling down to get to the information and the navigation buttons.

The page does not contain any typos or items that can be misread or confusing.  It works on a 640x480 resolution screen but the person has a lot of scrolling down to do.

The links on the page work properly.  The image, page content and color does not change on different screen resolutions except on WEB TV.  Everything is viewed on left margin.  The page does not contain information on the last time it was updated.

The site does not contain the name on the site on the page in question.  It contains only the title of the page but not what the page it is a  part of.

There are not unnecessary links, headlines or icons.  The page is long and it does not provide for a printable version.  However, if the page is sent to the printer besides the image, title and navigation buttons print on black and white.

Regardless pf which page you are on, there is a link that will take the visitor back to home.

The title of the page is correct but does not contain the name of the site.  2 different types of font are used throughout the page.  I am not sure if they belong to the same family. 

The site does not contain any thumbnails.

The page loads in less than 10 seconds including the images.  An email link and a guestbook are provided, each one of them in order to contact site owner by sending an email or making a guestbook entry.

For those who do not have their images turned on, the page won't make any sense as it is not consistent; there are 2 link buttons that do not have a description.

I think I am going to send this page to the owner of the site.
