Moreover, the screen of the amatteroftaste.me is better than the screen of the second website making the contents be more readable to users. The amatteroftaste.me also uses the flash video to display the products and services offered to the customer making the website more appealing to users than nova.umuc.edu/~im639c23/imat639/about.html, the second website, which has no flash to display the product and services making the website less appealing to users.

Content
Similarly, the amatteroftaste.me has a better score in the website's content than the content of the other website.
