Subject: Website Analysis

Mr. John Deer,

I am sending this memo in reference to your website, http://www.treehugger.com. I have been assigned to evaluate your site based on the effectiveness and strength of the content within your site.

The text is very small and it seems as if all of the information runs together at times, but I notice that there are certain areas that have bulleted or numbered points. This is also a plus, but I would suggest creating a way to provide the necessary information in a shorter format that doesn’t seem so tedious to read.

The overall appearance of this website is a little bland and I would suggest considering making
