For my third monthly review I chose No. 9 Park and Six Penn’s websites to review.

The two websites are noticeably different at first glance. No. 9 Park’s site is incredibly simple with little flash which works on some levels. It’s easy to navigate with the obvious links on the left of the page  The color scheme is plain which lets the color of the images to stand out quite obviously. This standing out effect breaks the unity of the page, but is still effective.

Six Penn’s site manages to feel cluttered, yet organized at the same time. The first thing I noticed upon opening the page was the blocks of images below the top banner. These images feel extraneous compared to No.9 park’s site which might just be due to their individual target audiences. Six Penn seems to target a much younger and more energetic crowd than No. 9 Park. After the initial distraction of the images, the site draws your attention to the top of the page with links to the important pages such as menus. The menus are clean and simple to read with individual links to the different courses. Overall it gave me little issues with navigation and understanding.

Both sites were simple enough to navigate with little effort, but both have their pros and cons. Each site works toward their target audience but Six Penn’s site is much more pleasing to the eye and simple to read and navigate overall.
