ARTM2210 Intro to Web Design

Just another Intro to… site

Monthly Review 3

Bravofranco: Everything on the site is well placed and well organization. All the links are bold and stand out. It is very visually appealing. The photos at the center of the page really draw your attention. The color scheme is simple but works nicely with the feel of the restaurant. The design elements of the page make everything tie together. I feel the page is well designed, everything works and it is where it needs to be. This site follow Krug’s second rule, which is mindless amounts of clicks on a site. Everything is simple and straightforward and goes where you want it too. This helps the user navigate quickly to where they need to go.

no9park: This site has a more sophisticated design and look. The style is very neutral and the typefaces chosen give a classic feel, emphasizing the restaurant is more upscale. I feel they created this style on the webpage very well. The images are large and take up most of the page and also change which gives variety. Every link opens up in the center and leads you to each subpage. Everything is very minimal on the homepage. I feel this site follow Krug’s third rule well, which is omit needless words. There are very few words on the homepage everything is straight to the point and all the information you need. No paragraphs on the main frame layout. This makes it easy for the user to see the important information they need to know about this restaurant.

Overall, I my opinion I like the more simplistic feel of no9park’s webpage everything was very simple for their page making it very user friendly. Bravofranco used more unnecessary words I felt at the bottom and I liked how no9park made their’s more simplistic. I liked the design of bravofranco better it gave it a different feel. Both websites captured their own style really well, it went along with what kind of restaurant they were.
