I ended up critiquing news352, a Luxembourg website. The first thing I noticed was that it was in French, but the option to change the language was right at the top in large, clear letters. I've done enough surfing of international websites while working at Newsy to know that not all sites have it this big or easy to find, if they have it at all, so I give news352 an A+ in this area. After I could actually read the site, I found the links to be helpful and informative, without overloading me with options. As I clicked through and looked at stories, I found some variations in the way the text was set up on the page that threw me off a bit. On at least one story, the text was in a block formation with no indentations, new paragraphs or line breaks. This could have been a typo, I tried to look for others and most of the rest I saw seemed to be in a readable format. From each page I could go to other pages without using the navigation buttons at the top of my browser window, but from what I could tell they were all the same stories to navigate to no matter what I was reading. Changing them depending on whether I was viewing world news, Luxembourg news, etc, would have made it easier for me to click through more of the site without having to go to the links at the top. The layout of the site was clear and I didn't find the colors (white background, black text, blue banners) to be unappealing or distracting.
