ARTM2210 Intro to Web Design

Just another Intro to… site

monthly review 4

For this review I chose walkover.com. I have heard of this website previous due to my cousin who is a vintage clothing designer in LA but then I came across this website when I was looking for vintage shoes inspiration for our Soley Shoes website. Walkover was started in 1758 by the Keith family shoe makers. The main thing that I liked about this website is the fact that they pride themselves on being made in the United States even to this day. However, they didn’t start making women’s vintage shoes until the 1990’s. The website has a color palette that is definitely vintage, simple and clean. The colors they used were white, black, a rust orange and a tan. The color palette never takes away from the shoes themselves. When you hover over a shoe there is an orange box that shows up that says the name, price and view details where you can click to view more and view the shoe bigger. The shoe photographs themselves are on white background and are on their side and gives emphasis of the shoe. That was the idea we had for our shoes was to have a white background. Through the website there is a type of wood paneling texture as the background. I think wood makes it feel more vin gate because it gives it a old feel and appearance. The site was easy to navigate though and can easy find things quickly. There was a drop down navigation bar at the top as well as a footer with links. Overall, the site was well composed, classy and detail-oriented. After looking at this site think we could add some things to make it look more classy. I think our site displays vintage more.
