The site I am describing is the Digital Site of Atlanta.ga.gov. This site is located at the link above in blue. The site includes many links and ways to obtain information about Atlanta and anything that goes on here. The site is beautifully designed and easy to navigate for tourist. Most of the links relate to the tourist that are just visiting the city. The colors that are present is mostly blue accents, which is an easy color to look at and it makes the site overall appealing to the viewer. The way this website makes me feel is like everything is covered up, however. The site being how beautiful it is and how everything is catered to the tourist, suggest that they are not too worried about the residents of Atlanta looking at the website. This all goes to an argument about our built environment of Atlanta. The Environment has exquisite areas just like the website had gorgeous pages, but only when you click the links that the tourist will use. When you click links that residents of Atlanta use the site was plain and barely even used the blue accents. The digital, interior, and exterior built environment of Atlanta all make the tourist feel welcome and blind to the fact that many areas in Atlanta are considered poverty stricken neighborhoods. The built environment of the digital site was entirely changed when the user clicked on downtown events because that’s what most tourists are going to click. The page redirects the user to a sub-website that is beautifully designed. This goes to show that Atlanta is breathtaking at a close glance, but when the viewer starts to dig they see the crime reports. Just like if a resident starts staying in Atlanta. At first, they will see the gorgeous buildings, but then they will start seeing the cons to living in the city such as the smells of the sewers, the homeless, and the heavy traffic, then they start seeing the True Atlanta.
