I prefer the Nike web page; it is well-organized details in terms of the design and the content. It attracts attention at first contact with it and maintains the focus of the on-looker. The Nike homepage elaborates to the visitor what the company is and what products it offers. It has a clear and brief description of the company’s mission/ purpose. The organizational missions have been communicated through the photos and images of the sports ware and prominent sportsmen and celebrities. The website provides concise and complete information on the background of the company; this allows new visitors to quickly determine the purpose of the company hence connecting to deeper levels with the visiting client.
The website was developed with the idea of visiting clients and the audience, in this case, the sports personalities and the business community.

The information for the customers and stakeholders has been provided online, this includes an online shop, customized, sites, Football, Basketball sports images, Women, Nike, Running, and images for Sportswear, This website provides information to the customers on the prices of their products and the mode of delivery of the purchases to the customers. The contact information has been given to the customers on who they should contact in case of a failed deal. This is through the contact form or the email address and company’s phone numbers. The design of this website fits the sports company. The inclusion of the youthful sports celebrities in with the grunge styles creates an intriguing appeal to the youths.
