Issues with Texas Tech’s Kinesiology Website
The internet is a very valuable tool to promote growth in the business industry. It is also important for other organizations such as schools. When properly put together the aspects of content, organization, style, and design would greatly enhance the website’s success. This report will examine aspects of Texas Tech’s kinesiology website and provide recommendations for improving its shortcomings.
Content
In order for a website to be effective it must have excellent content. Content is a very important aspect of a website, because it provides the readers with need-to-know information.
