ARTM2210 Intro to Web Design

Just another Intro to… site

Monthly Review 2

http://akce.kia.com/cz/ is a website to showcase the anniversary model of the Kia Venga and the Kia Rio.  The web sight starts on a single page with a bright red background.  The cars have a 3D element to them that comes out with the details of the shadows.  The sight asks you to select a model of car.  When the mouse rolls over the cars to select them the lights of the vehicles turn on.  I then selected the Kia Rio.  The sight loaded very smoothly and fast.  Although the webpage is in Czech, they included images of a mouse with the scroll wheel highlighted, as well as, arrows for the directional arrows on the keyboard.  I realized that I was able to scroll through the website.  This was not as smooth as I was expecting.  When I hold the down arrow it seems to play a movie with facts listed.  The site didn’t have a smooth transition with it at all.  It was more like a stop motion animation website.  I still continued down the sight to learn more about the car.

Then I came across this code in the middle of the page.  This just frustrated me.  If you are a well known company like Kia you would think that there would be a little testing done to the web sight prior to launching the web sight.

Overall the web sight has a nice use of colors, textures and a good design.  They have a unique way of moving from section to section.  I would like the movement to be a little faster and smoother.  As well as fix the code that shows up on the website.  I think that the sights design is well done and allows the user to learn about the two vehicles.
