| ===Critics on the table===
| |
| * distracting grid
| |
| :The grid make the table difficult to read, because it distract the eyes. Less rulers and grid would increase the table's effectivness[FEW, 2004].
| |
|
| |
| * missing labels
| |
| :The table's information isn't clear defined, because of the missing Title/Header.
| |
| :In addition there should be a title AND subheader because of the multiple variables. So the column should be titled with the name following by the units of :measurement[NSF, 2004].
| |
|
| |
| * ordering of the data
| |
| **column Sequence
| |
| *:Sets of categorial subdivision like the diffrent products: "WWW", "Gator", "Cydoor", "SaveNow" and "eZula" should be sequenced from left to right and the categorial subdivision should be arranged down the rows of a single column to the left of the quantitative values associated with them[FEW, 2004]. So the information of the table would be shown better by placing the data of the colums in the rows an the data of the rows in the columns.
| |
| **data sequence
| |
| *:The ordering of the data in the first row isn't logic, so I would prefer to place the products in an ascending or descending order of the first column values. It is also impossible to have a conventional order based on alphabetical sequence, which is useful for look-up purposes but isn't meaningful otherwise.
