and design aspects relating to responsiveness of the overall website. Support
your critique
with appropriate RWD principles.
What to Review

a critical
evaluation
of the

website
and to support your observations and
comments convincingly. The nominated website should be reviewed
using Google Chrome’s device simulator. For the purpose and intention of this
assessment, use only the device simulator for your reviews. This is to ensure
that all students have access to consistent and identical review tools .
Your

to include 5 different screen displays.
The recommended settings are as follows.
Students are free to select the different simulated device (in the Chrome
device simulator) they would like to use for the reviews.

on red background is a poor colour combination’)must be supported by references or
critical
observation. You can

scholarly references
other
than
