sites overall

Briefly overall, I liked how different each of the sites were. MCA's site seemed to have a vertical look to it while the Children's Museum was concise. I think I had the most difficult time with the NAEA's site for visual and loading purposes. The site took much longer loading, and many of the image files never loaded.

In terms of the menu bars, I thought the Children's Museum had a good balance of the other two sites. The NAEA site was definitely more concise--using key terms with no other drop down menus (but they have two menu bars). The MCA site has drop-down menus, which lead to another sub-menu bar (most of them). This made it easy to find my way around once I knew the functions, but when I first came onto the website, I was overwhelmed by the amount of options available.

In terms of the design of the website, I favored the MCA site because I liked the gridded look to it. I also really liked how they relied on black and white (and gray) as their main look, then adding color to make things stand out.
