Monthly Review #3

For the third monthly review, I chose to compare the two sites Jimmy Choo and The Frye Company.

These two sites are similar yet very different. First I noticed about the two sites is that both are pretty simple and do not have a lot of noise going on in the pages. Both pages have each sections of their pages layed out and defined well to show certain sections of the page and what is defined within those regions. Everything that is clickable on both pages are also very obvious. Jimmy Choo uses the dividing of sections to show what is clickable and spacing of the text. The Frye Company uses boldness and different varieties of text to make the links easily clickable. The most visually appealing images which would be the hierarchy of each page is right in the middle of the home page and they are very large which works well because the images show what the whole site is about and that is what people should be seeing in the first place.

Jimmy Choo is different from The Frye Company though in a sense their site is a little more condensed than The Frye Company. I think that is a minus in a way because if it was a little less condensed although it is simple, it could maybe enhance it because the type is a little small. The Frye Company uses its use of the whole page well expanding everything across the screen which is awesome and looks very well. They both balance out well but I believe Jimmy Choo uses it better although both work well just because everything seems justified and the page seems to be balance oriented.
