5. Finally the Third and last visit to your site. The reason the navigation is last is because we want the visitor panel to go through the site hands on and then determine together the' Ease of use". The panel will return again for the third time and issue points for navigation according to their ease of use going through your program. It is different from how the judges view it. The judges give the point values upon their second visit to your site. It is not based upon code or proper web site design, the panel issues points according to 'hands on" how just a surfer see's your navigation. Judges points are 0-5 and the visitor panel is 0-10. Since all web sites are targeted for the visitor we believe the greatest points must come from them who visit. The judges and panel will get together and discuss the total points from all the visits.
