There is also ‘tabs’ of hypertext links above all the picture hypertext link section. When you put your cursor over these ‘tabs’, a pop section appears over the homepage which tells you what you can expect to find in the hyperlink area. I think this is great because it helps users decide what interactive route to take that they will enjoy. All of these hypertext links present information and pathways to further information which is not available from the homepage.
Hypertext also allows users to select what they wish to view from all of the options available, allowing them to narrow things down to their true interests, in which each user will create their own unique experience. The non-linear form that handbags structure takes encourages the users to move from one page to another without having to go through them in a particular sequence.
The homepage features hyperlinks for adverts in the form of ‘world vision’. http://www.handbag.com/specials/73763/special However, instead of the hyperlink directing you to a completely different website like usual adverts do online, it takes you to another page on Handbag, where it briefly explains a few things before giving you the choice of going onto the world vision website. I think this is a good way to have adverts as I guess the website would possibly loose users via adverts whom go on the advert, realise its not very interesting, but forget to come back to the website sort of thing!
Articles users can view on Handbag
One of the articles on the homepage is ‘our favourite red carpet moments’. http://www.handbag.com/beauty/red-carpet-celebrity-beauty-keira-knightley/gallery This article is posted by the people who work for the website, however it allows users of the website to become interactive with the text as it gives them the opportunity to respond to the article and give their feedback in some way, letting them play the role of ‘produser’.
