Compairing and contrasting two sites that produce graphs

The title says all.

My first website is prettygrpah.com. It is a free site that "turns your data into something beautiful." This website does exactly what it says! Looking through their pre-made charts, I was very impressed. This site can be used by anyone from scientists and business professionals, to students, designers, and bloggers. I used a sample (provided by the site) to make my own graph. I panicked a bit at first because I didn't know I could do that. Once I selected the information, I was directed to click on the graph bar. Then I was able to choose the style I wanted for my graph.Next, I selected the colors I wanted my graph to be in.

The second website was lovelycharts.com. Seems like I have an obsession with synonyms of beautiful. This one was not as flashy. I could not view samples on the homepage and there was only a video to watch when I first arrived. I went to gallery to check out the samples and they were not as impressive as prettygraph. It charges to use the full site but I had the option of downloading a demo. I chose not to in order to save my memory.

All in all, the contrast between the sites were quite dramatic. I will be using prettygraph in my future classroom.
