Your thesis statement must be easily identifiable, and you MUST take a stand -- this means that you must give the web page either a favorable or an unfavorable review. Make this as clear as you can.
Body: Critique the web page. What elements work? What elements are annoying and/or unsatisfactory. This is YOUR opinion, of course.
Conclusion: Your essay must have a clear conclusion, with a restatement (a rephrasing) of your thesis.
