Exercise 1

Jimmy is looking for a simple recipe to make pulled pork BBQ in the slow cooker he just received as a gift.  Put yourself in his shoes as he visits http://www.food.com to start his quest by answering the following 3 questions from the Chapter 5 reading:

  1. Am I in the right place?
  2. Do they have what I am looking for?
  3. Do they have anything better?

Discuss how the Food Network site organizes their information in relation to Jimmy’s objective, specifically through organization systems, labels, and navigation design.

Reply to this post with your findings.
