For this monthly review, I decided to compare the Burgatory website and the Six Penn Kitchen website. The two are very different when it comes to balance, unity, emphasis and layout. On the main page for Burgatory, the burger is the major emphasis on the page. It’s directly in the middle and is blown up bigger than any of the other images. This works well because Burgatory is know for their burgers obviously.  The Six Penn Kitchen page doesn’t have one specific image or text that stands out to create emphasis though. While Six Penn Kitchen doesn’t have much emphasis on one specific thing, it does have a good sense of balance throughout the website whereas Burgatory doesn’t as much. On Six Penn Kitchen’s menu page, the pictures and text are both evenly balanced with each other along with the other pages. Burgatory’s home page is not balanced as well. It’s other pages, like the menu pages, are evenly balanced though. They include the menu in the middles with equal text and images on the side bars. As for unity, both pages depict it well with their consistency with text and images. Both Burgatory and  Six Penn Kitchen keep the same color scheme throughout the website along with the same background image/color. For both websites, they have a strong layout. They are consistent throughout each page of the websites too. They are both laid out differently, but both work well.

Also, both websites have an easy to access button that leads straight back to the homepage for the user which is one thing Krug emphasized in the reading. On Burgatory’s website, the “B” on each pages represents the button to go back to the homepage while Six Penn Kitchen’s website has it’s logo in the middle of the top menu bar that serves as it’s homepage button. On Six Penn’s website, there is a clear indication of what page the user is on because on the menu bar, the font changes to a green color when you are located on that page. When a user is scrolling through the Burgatory website, the side menu bar drops down and again highlights whatever page they are on. This helps the user see where they came from and where they are located on the website. Neither page has a search bar however. This seems to be ok since it is a restaurant website, but it could be useful to the user in some cases. Overall though, both websites have a good sense of design based on unity, emphasis, balance, and layout.
