I found this website that deals with the same sort of comparison, in this case between the Japanese self-mummified monks, and other such types of mummification in Buddhist tradition.
I liked how much information the creator of this website was able to fit in, as well as the other (unrelated for my purposes) broad Buddhist information pages. However, despite these good attributes, I had more than just a few problems with other aspects.
Firstly, I could not get past how many spelling and grammatical errors there were. I think that whoever made this site must have English as their second language only, because at some points the writing was barely intelligible. I'm not trying to preach here, I realize that my grammar is less than superb at times, but there is a point of being able to still comprehend the point of the paragraph, and this author has passed it.
Secondly, I found the asthetics in general severely lacking. I really highly value how a website looks, as that is what we notice first when we open a new page. I think it needs to pop, and needs to grab your attention in an appealing way. This page, however, is very plain, boring, lacking in colour, and there are no breaks in the actual text. If the creator of the website had thrown in some pictures or even just break the paragraphs down into smaller chunks it would have helped.
Currently, however, it is difficult to keep my attention on the page and trying to read what this person is attempting to convey, as I find myself getting bored and moving on when I can't understand the English the person is using.
Of course, I realize that I cant criticize or measure all aspects of this website based on the rubric my group made, but if I were to grade it with the parts that are applicable, I'm not sure this web page would get a very good mark.
