Bars and Stripes – Full Review
Bars & Stripes scored 22/50 on our mini-review of the free-site content and design. Fortunately this low initial score does not reflect on the quality of content in the members area.
Entering the members-area you find a clean menu and greetings area with dark-green background and red control buttons. A little too ‘Eddie Stobart’ for me, but effective as a branding exercise nonetheless. You are welcomed as a visiting prison Governor
The menu on the left hand side of the page divides the site into the following areas:
- Navigation
- Home
- Latest News
- Inmates
- Matron
- Updates
- Prison Diaries
- Suggestion Box
- Contact Us
Prison Area- Governor’s Office
- Cell Block
- Intake Office
- Solitary
- Sick Bay
- Interview/Visiting
- Prison Grounds
- PT room
- On the Outside
- Governor’s House
- At Large
In fact it is possible to download the video files directly by right clicking, without using the zipped version. I agree about the awkwardness of the galleries. Either starightforward .jpg files, permiting the use of a download manager, or zipped files as an alternative, would be welcome.
