Dream Holiday Part 1: Website Evaluation

Dream Vacation Website
Using Google, I came across this website that helps you in achieving your dream vacation.
Leisure Options - Welcome to Dream Vacations

Authority

The homepage contains links to "About Us", "Reports" and "Contact Us"

About Us
  • Describes what the company does
  • What Features the club offers (Point System)
Reports
  • How the company is doing (Financial Statements etc.)
Contact Us
  • Full Contact Details
Based on those links provided, I have concluded this website is from a company that sells time-shares and provide their clubs members with resorts in different countries.
Time-share is a form of ownership or right to the use of a property. These properties are typically resort condominium units, in which multiple parties hold rights to use the property, and each sharer is allotted a period of time (typically one week, and almost always the same time every year) in which they may use the property. Units may be on a part-ownership or lease/"right to use" basis, in which the sharer holds no claim to ownership of the property.

Presentation and Arrangement

The website displays their information in a very neat and organised fashion with attractive vacation images that  draws your attention. The design of the site is very simple and pleasing to the eye and their information are also very well organised with their resort details being categorized alphabetically.

Accessibility

The site provides a user-friendly interface where navigating to your desired page is a breeze. They also provide the details of their available resorts worldwide. However, to book the location, registration is required and one is required to be one of their time-share holders.

Most Important Evaluation Criteria

Authority. I have to be sure that the site and the company is a existing legal company before doing anything. Since I may be purchasing their time-share, I have to be certain that I am not being cheated or wasting my time.
