When I first looked at the one page website Fiesta Italiana it looks fun and playful. I feel they designer did a good job structuring the website. They separated what was important and did not make it all confusing to navigate. It was east to find out what to click right when you got to the homepage because it jumps right out at you showing emphasis that you should click this button. Giving it a playful structure for even a kid to understand that is what u need to click. I like the navigation bar because it makes it easier to get to pages but they also leave to option for you to scroll up/down. Also you can decipher what information is important because the bold it out,and make it the header, or sub heads. Also they have a good navigation bar that follows you throughout the site to take you back to the homepage. The only thing that I would say is a little weary is the Habitat for humanity link because unless you go over it you cant really tell its a link because the colors of the text. They also have good amount of white-space usage on this website. The footer of the webpage leads to the company and shows their portfolio and other stuff.
I think the color on the first page is a real attention grabber because its yellow and its a warm color that attracts our eyes. It also gives off good vibe like your happy to see this site, but only thing i have to say is looking at to for a little to long makes it a little overpowering on the eyes. But i don’t believe the color overtakes the image. Right when i looks at the color of blue it gives you a calming feeling and make you fell that the content on this page it easy to understand and will not take to long to understand. In there entertainment page you could tell that this business is still at a growing level with the color they choose as green. I think they choose a lot of simply colors because this is for a child and a parent to go on and it makes it visually pleasing for the kid and easy to navigate for the parent. Also a lot of the illustrations are more child like drawings so i have the feeling even if the parent wasn’t with the child its still makes it east for the kids to use.
I have to say with their texture is very simple and repetitive but changes color from page to page. They make the shapes very horizontally lined, and flows to each page nicely. The shape of the diamond is geometric and is nice. I think the webpage could have done fine without the shapes but the shapes give it more value and appeal to the viewer. In the end i think this website works pretty well but has a few things it need to work on like the links to make them show out more on a few pages. Though overall it has a nice feel to it.
