How: Refers to the design, or look, of a source.
Visual layout, stylistic choices, images, and advertising often influence the credibility of a source. This can be especially true of web sources since sites can often contain dynamic animation and other content.
It's important to ask:
- Are there lots of ads?Are there flashy graphics? Do they add or take away from the source's credibility or legibility?
- What kind of information is presented on the page?
Additional Internet Source Consideration:
- Is the site easy to navigate? Is the content well organized?
- Are there dead links?
- Is the download time and site navigation slowed down by too many images or media files?
