Analyzing a frisbee golf web site

The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is an organization for frisbee golf. Similar to the Professional Golf Association (PGA) the PDGA acts as a professional tour or league for frisbee golf. Anyone can become a member of the PDGA, and the web site they designed has a variety of features to learn all about the game and the professional players.

First, there web site is very crowded. The home page is filled with many advertisements, multiple tabs to click on, and videos to see. The horizontal bar at the top of the page has many different tabs to navigate through such as all about disc golf, membership, courses, and they even have a discussion tab where users can express their opinions about the frisbee golf world.

There are many different advertisements displayed along both sidebars. Some of the ads on the web site market specific companies in frisbee golf such as Innova and Discraft. Other ads on the home page are devoted toward specific tournaments in the United States as well as overseas in Europe. To help keep their web site profitable and up to date, they have many sponsors that get marketed such as the Disc Golf Association.

Another great feature on the web site are the multiple videos that are posted. The first video that is displayed on the main page is a promotion for a tournament that is coming up. Also, they have a small section they call "Video of the Week," where each week they post a new video that relates to frisbee golf.

Overall, I feel that the PDGA did a good job in building their web site. They have many different features that appeal to the beginning frisbee golfer as well as the experienced one. In the future, I hope to send an email to the PDGA and explain to them what I am trying to do with my web site and maybe they will advertise me.
