VT Digger Critique

When i first went to the site i noticed right away the heading. It is just the name of the site, but is nice and big so you cant miss it. The overall layout of the site is very nice and easy to figure out. They have sections on the right side almost like the sections of a newspaper. On the left is mostly stuff about the site and how they get money ect.

Their business model is a non-profit business model. This means they make no money and get all their funds from donations sponsorships and grants. The site is free right now but someday they hope to have certain special sections that you would have to pay a small fee for. They have gotten a few grants so far and are working on raising more money.

Most of the stories seem to well written and kept my attention. One in particular that caught my eye was one about the mind and everyone's stress levels and emotional happiness. It was a very interesting story.There seemed to be a few stories dealing with philosophy and things like that. Those are things that interest me so i would probably visit this website often. I think it would be a great idea to do a multimedia project for this website.
