The navigation buttons are perfect for websites that allow users to gather relevant informations to satisfy one's need. It provide more details and links to other related other related contents and websites. It is simple and neat.

The font size used is acceptable for adults and children but not the elderly.
Some of the font size is too small for the elderly. E.g Top Favorites, Most Discussed, Most Viewed, Featured under Featured Videos.

Colour
This website uses white as their primary colour which made everything organize and well done. When creating websites, it is good to avoid colours like red, yellow and green. There are users with colour blind in the world, so it is still safer to have a simple basic colour as background colour.

I will make a website that will allow physically diasbled people to be comfortable with, such as the colour, navigation buttons and layout to be chosen carefully.
