Welcome To Today's Website Review
Today's website review is of the popular typing speed trainer: TypeRacer! You can follow along with
our review by following this link to view the website:
What Did They Do Well?
From the start, you can tell that the website is all about typing from the typewriter logo
that ensures you don't mistake what website you're one.
The header of the website, along with the navigation stays consistent no matter
what page you navigate to. Consistency is key.
The page looks professional because of the uniform color scheme and the minimalistic
images throughout the web page. Everything looks like it belongs and is uniform.
User's are able to interact within the website so that you can share scores
or challenges your friends. TypeRacer offers global leaderboards so that you have a form
of incentive to improve your typing!
What Did They NOT Do Well?
- The style looks a bit childish
- The website occasionally stalls out. Could be poor connection
- Navigation buttons across the website don't follow a uniform color scheme
- The header looks a bit plain
