ARTM2210 Intro to Web Design

Just another Intro to… site

Monthly Review 2

I chose to review the Club Tropicana website. At first glance, the website has a very appeasing color and gives off the feel of a sunset beachy thingy.  But in reality, its about a hockey tournament and a music festival, which took me forever to figure out.

It does have some good points though. Its one of those sites where you scroll up and down the whole time.  When scrolling there is a menu bar with the different “pages” to jump between.  It keeps the same background as you scroll through.

 

But I feel it has more cons than pros. It took me ages to figure out it dealt with a hockey tournament. The name “Club Tropicana” totally throws me off and then it talks about a music festival, which confused me even more.  They really need to rethink their name and colors. Very few of the pictures on the site gave of the impression of hockey. Most just looked like a giant party. As you go through the page you com to the rules of the tournament which were pretty straight forward. Then it has a few pictures of people, which I was assuming were the captains of the teams? Then you get to the ticket buying and registration areas which were closed at the time.

 

I wasn’t overly impressed. I thought it was going to be interesting, but I lost interest as I went.
