- The first thing you see about this website is the "its not all about wales". It captures your attention so you then look at the other features on the website. This is a slow slide show showing the audience what this channel has in store. This takes up the whole of the tiop half of the page.
- This design is a lot like the discovery channel as it is by the same people.
- The header includes the logo, a search bar and a slogan as the most prominent features you tend to notice in that particular place.
- There is a large advertisement banner at the top of the page which I cut off in the printscreen however I don't think this is necessary.
- The links for other discovery sites are repeated at the bottom of the page but with logos.
- In the middle there is a box of a big variety TV shows.
- This website is set out a lot like the bbc website.
- There is a big space at the top of website for logo/header.
The content of the site is listed across the top of the page, built into the header. The channel number for sky, virgin media and top-up TV are integrated into it too. - The theme of the page makes a strong background the the theme is carried on throughout the site.
- The login/reigster part is located underneath the header rather than in it and has a site search under that too but more graphical.
- In the centre of the page is a slide show of highlights of the week, upcoming exciting programs that the channel wants you to watch.
- To the left of the sideshow is a link to clips on the site, but no actual videos.
- Below the slideshow and still really in the middle of the page are advertisements of facebook, people wanted for presspacks and competitions.
- There is also trivia, a couple of advertisements at the bottom that you can't see when you 1st navigate to the page and a list of gold stars who are loved by the gold viewers. This is displayed using pictures and when you hover you mouse over it, an arrow points at it and reveaols information about the actor/star.
- At the very bottom of the page is a small space for quick links to other sites. This is just done in plain writing because it is no very important.
Food Channel
- In the header, the logo is set in white on its own. Underneath but still built into the header is the list of content on the site. The strip for this is in a different colour to the header. Also in this green stip is a site search bar.
- There is a place to sign into the site to get more specialist info on food.
- When you 1st navigate onto the page, you see a slide show of pictures of food advertsising dishes and opportunities.
- Below the slide show is a 'featured video'.
- To the left of the featured video is the 'recipe of the day'
- All of the parts of the site that the Tv channel wants you to spot 1st, are there right staring at the audiences eye.
- To the very right there are advertisements are twitter pages and surveys which obviously earn the channel and twitter, money. These adverts go right down to the bottom of the page.
- After that is a long list of the resturant/food related news which is laid out quite a lot like the bbc websites.
- There is no theme for this page, its just plain. The only theme I see is the green strip across the top of the page which shows life and health.
Disney Channel
- As soon as you open up the page, a video in the middle automatically starts playing to get your attention, however some audiences may find this annoying if that starts everytime they refresh or go back to the page.
- In the header of the page, there is a big space for an ad. The list of content of the site are listed along the top but below the ad. The disney logo is integrated into the side of it.
- Below the content of the page, there are 9 picture of disney shows that get bigger when you move your mouse over them. These are links to the pages on the shows. Furthermore there is a link to the side of this saying to click there to view the rest.
- Located in the centre of the page, including left and right are the 'what's hot' and 'what's on TV' etc. This makes it easier to find.
- Underneath the middle section is a box with games advertised in big bright colours. This site is obviously to amuse kids.
- At the very bottom of the page is graphical links for arts and craft printouts and e-cards. This is just a bit of fun.
- There is only really one paying advertiser on the page which isn't clearly seen when you 1st navigate onto the page.
- The whole site is themed with a deep blue and a pattern in the background which looks like the whole site is placed into a crystal ball, relating to disney films such as cinderella.
Discovery Channel
- Advertisement banner across the top of the page.
- Header includes logo, a site search bar, links to other discovery sites without the logos, links of the discovery shop, a discovery travel site and the list of website content across the page attached to the head but underneath the bulk of it.
- The top video of the week is located on the right hand sites and has a list of 4 more top videos to watch.
- On the left hand side of the page, there is an advertisement for the most devastating/exciting news. The discovery channel clearly wants to try and explore the causes and fascination of such events which will draw in an audience.

- The content of the site is listed across the top of the page, built into the header.
- All of the video links and highlights of the week is set in the middle in a big square to look like a big TV.

- There's a Tv programmes a-z section on the top right hand corner which is clickable and links to the programs in chronological and alphabetical order to show what is on TV or what has already been on.
- Above the big square of showings there is an advertisement for programs to boost ratings which changes every now and again.
