DKPA website won the TOP 5% site award at the ESPANA-2000 in Madrid. This is the critique received by us from the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (Federation of International Philately) on the website after evaluation.


Critique

Very good site for information related to Indian philately. Good use of English but needs some organisation. The home page is a bit helter-skelter as to what you are going to see inside. However, the information is readily available and easy to navigate. The links are good - including one to the Indepex Asiana 2000 site.

It includes a very good page with information about Indian philatelic CDs that includes unvarnished reviews of them; one assessment agrees with those judged by a member of the internet jury team.

There are some useful tools for specialists: cash converter and perpetual calendar.

There is a good section for young collectors. It has a Java script thing that moves images of ants around the screen, where they head to wherever the cursor is located; a fun thing. The games are a nice feature but are simple and repetitive particularly hangman. Children could get bored with them. It was found a return to the main site from the games window was not practical.

Some of the graphics could be annoying such as the perpetually running dog, dancing tomato and the Geocities advertisement.

Content could be further enhanced, but scores well in every area with no clear weakness.
