The term searched was Schizophrenia and these two sites came up in rank for 3 searches.
One was Johns Hopkins Medicine http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/epigen/szwhatis.htm, [accessed on March 8, 2013]
The other is Mayo Clinic, http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/schizophrenia/DS00196/DSECTION=symptoms [accessed on March 8, 2013]
The first is a site owned by the Johns Hopkins Medicine Centre and is their own webpage for public relation Purposes. It also is educative to the public with a number of diseases listed. The second is the website of the Mayo Clinic, and is owned by Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER).
An appraisal of the format in which the material is presented at the site
To evaluate the sites the following criteria were considered from the layman's point-of-view. These criteria have been addressed for both the sites. The criteria are: readability and access complete information, trustworthiness, other links to information, from the point of layman, and from a professional viewpoint. The evaluation for both the sites is as below. Sites are referred to by the name of the owners.

Also simple links are provided on the side to every subject and paragraph of the topic. There are other links, more information and contact addresses available on the page. It is a thoroughly professional page.
Complete information: Both the pages give complete information and links to the layman, but their information is not useful to a professional. On the other hand Mayo Clinic has a separate link for professionals who my want to interact. However from the point of the lay man, information is accurate to his or her needs in both. The Hopkins site has gone too deep into the history of the disease which may not be useful to the lay person, but a researcher. Information has been better served by the Mayo site because of the language, and readability.
Trustworthiness: There is…
