The sites purpose is to provide a second source to Beowulf for the students in 11th Grade English. The site is composed of Beowulf translated into English as well as an index that has links to each individual section of Beowulf. I find the site to be exactly what it needs to be, an accurate, line labeled, online source of Beowulf. It is laid out very simply without distractions. The layout maybe dull, but it should be used in order to look up specific lines, so a lack of visual appeal is fine.

The purpose of the site it to give students more information on the Angle-Saxon morals and beliefs during the time of Beowulf, mainly about the heroes. The audience the site will be used on is 11th grade, but can be used by anyone how can read and understand Beowulf. The site uses quotes from Beowulf as well as other Anglo-Saxon stories, allowing the audience to know there are more works similar to Beowulf. The site is simple with a constant font used throughout. The links to other parts of the site are all lined up at the bottom, but do not really assist further in the Anglo-Saxon topic. The authors, who are also the sponsors, are stated clearly but no contact info is given. Design wise the site is monotone, wallpaper like background dragged throughout. It does not seem to assist with the topic, just a method in order to not have a plain white background.
