Looking into Other News: Thisistotalessex

This is Total Essex tends to get it's stories from newspaper websites in Essex. It seems to colaberate all of the top stories and put them onto it's own website. The prinscreen above is the main menu, which is located at the top of the page. It has the main links written in grey on a white background, and then beneath each, when hovered over, appears a grey box with white writing that includes sub links related to the topic that is being hovered over. There is also an option to 'login/register', along with a search bar, a brief weather forecast and various hyperlinked logos to their website.

The printscreen above is a section at the top of the page that tells the readers the main stories that are on the website. Each of these headlines have the area that is affected by the story. These places are written in capital letters, this draws attention to them and immediately lets the reader know whether the story will affect them. Despite there only being one photograph in this section, it is a fairly large photo and it takes up 1/4 of the section. It also has the beginning of the article written beneath it, this gives readers more information about the article, instead of just the title.
This printscreen is on the right side of the page. It shows three different aspects that the website offers. It gives readers the oppurtunity to look at homes for sale, cars for sale and to look for a local business. The first to show photographs, this gives readers the insight to what kind of car or house may be advertised for sale on the page.

The printscreen above shows a section on the page that is located toward the bottom of the page. It allows the reader to view what the website offers in one section. this makes searching for something a lot easier as it will take the reader to where they want to go in one click.


This printscreen is an example of the different parts of the website. This shows that there is a page for sports, and this is shown on the home page that takes you to the sports page, and to continue reading the article that is written on the right side of the picture. The picture makes it obvious that it leads to the sports page, along with the heading.
