Solve the Issues

The purpose of this website is to bring people together to discuss important political issues such as education, political reform and healthcare. The website also asks for suggestions from the viewers about how to move forward with these issues.

The intended audience is anyone interested in working together to improve issues. I think the website reaches the intended audience but I think it could be more effective if it gave more of an overview of the particular issues instead of just asking for feedback, because this assumes that the audience is already educated about these subjects.

           

The site is not useful to me because it does not provide me with information about the topics or even links to access for more information. The website assumes I already know about these topics and that I just want to contribute information.

An interesting issue that I found that the site addresses is whether the UN and world powers should step in and remove the Syrian leadership that is massacring its people. However, there was only one comment about the question.

           

I would not encourage others to visit this site. I found that although at first the site looks like it will provide a lot of useful information about interesting and controversial topics, there is actually no background information about these issues. The website merely poses questions that it hopes to receive feedback about. Even so, there are very little comments to the questions posed; most questions have one comment, some don’t have any. I did not find this website to be worthwhile at all.

There are numerous ways this website could be improved. More information should be provided about the issues, which would possibly lead to more discussion. The “Support Solve” tab brings the viewer to an Amazon store that has nothing to do with the website. At the very top of the website, the title of the website looks like an advertisement. Although it is easy to navigate the website, the pictures look like they are able to be clicked on and even change color when the cursor is over them, but nothing happens if you click on the pictures. The red words on the blue background are hard to read and it is annoying that they are in all caps.
