For Our final group project we chose to do a fusion restaurant that included a beer and ice cream based menu. When comparing our website to other beer and ice cream sites, i think we did well at accomplishing our goal of simplicity in the style and design of our website. Im going to review my two  favorite beer and ice cream sites.

Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream– The first thing you notice when you enter their site is there use of animation and vibrant colors. They use a horizontal navigation bar that stays at the top of the screen on every page you enter. The navigation bar also incorporates some very interesting roll overs. The website is also very children friendly. There are a lot of pictures that would entice kids to look around more. Overall the website is very affective, as it is very user friendly and is easily navigated.

Blue Moon Brewing Company– Blue moon has one of the most interesting and visual friendly website. The whole site is flash based (Im Pretty Sure). We the user first opens the site they are required to put in their date of birth to verify they are 21. After that, the website loads like a book, and the navigation bar is vertical along the side of the book, as if they were tabs. When someone clicks on a tab, it will turn the exact number of pages to get to the tab you click. The website is very well thought out. The only downside is the tabs are somewhat hard to read, but the looks over weight that downside. Overall it is one of the best beer sites “I” have ever seen.
