For this assignment I looked at the Starbucks and Caribou Coffee websites. When I first glanced at the two web pages they looked very similar in their layout. After exploring them both more in depth, I noticed that they are not as similar as I had thought. Both websites are set up the same, they have a content bar across the top that shows all of the important topics their customers might be interested in. When you hover your mouse over the content bar on the Starbucks website, a drop down menu appears. On the Caribou Coffee website you can only click these links. Both websites have slideshow images in the center of the screen that feature their new drinks and products.
When comparing these two sites, I noticed that the Caribou Coffee site has more design and and a better sense of unity. The Starbucks website just has a white background which makes it look plain and unbalanced. I feel as though the Caribou Coffee website would appeal more to customers then the Starbucks website.
