After researching the Internet for examples of good quality book promotional websites, I soon realized there are lots of those. But to find examples of a good quality website for promoting a book there would be something about that website that would make it good. I found few that I liked viewing, I would first analyze the website to see what the overall feel of the page was.

At goodreads.com I was just scanning the main page and I was drawn into the website. What drew me into this website was the top of the page that reads, "Meet your next favorite book." This was inviting to me since it drew my attention and curiosity into the page. Viewing the page I soon found questions that could help people find what they are looking for next to read. What will you discover, was a section on the first page that drew my attention because of the types of books that were being shown.

Watt pad drew my attention because of how simple the general layout of the pages were. The overall look and feel of the pages were simple and easy to find your way around. In the middle of the page was a scroll through section to look at the different types of books. What I liked on the homepage was there was a section that show where this website has been featured in.
