Case Studies Number Six--yahoo.com:Site Focus

yahoo.com is a miscellaneous website. It provides services such as news, email box, games and so forth to users.

It has a powerful search engine which enables users to find information within and outside of yahoo.com. They can be as specific as they want to (questions, short sentence, keyword searching).

The best feature I like on yahoo.com is the game section. I can download the newest game demos and play them for free for 60 mins. I also like the game news and it enables me to know what is going on in the game world.

I really like yahoo.com's design and page layout. However, there is one thing that yahoo's designers need to improve: reduce the main body text on the home page. I think there are too many words on the index page and the page looks very busy and confusing. Less words will make the page clean and accessable.
