ARTM2210 Intro to Web Design

Just another Intro to… site

Review 3

The website that I chose to review was Six Penn Kitchen.

http://sixpennkitchen.com/index.aspx

 

To start things off I would just like to comment on the colors used on this site.  The grey works so well with the orange and green they used as highlight colors. I like the way the white and green text work with the grey background.  Just looking at the homepage everything is clean and spaced out well, and you are able to get a clear sense of what the restaurant is all about.  It’s nothing to overly complex when it comes to the designs on the homepage.  They just have some photos and a couple bits of information highlighted that they feel are important.  I mean it works and I enjoy it. However that’s because I am a fan of simple and clean looking designs and that’s what this site comes off as to me.  Navigation wise it is pretty easy to get around the site.  They have the bar at the top of the site with the Menu, About Us, Private Events, News & Events, Gallery, and Location. So as soon as you get to the site you would be able to go exactly where you need to go just being on the homepage.  I did really enjoy the idea of putting up a gallery.  It also the user to see exactly what you have to offer as a company and what the overall atmosphere is there.  That also is another feature that allows the user to interact on their site.  It covers the interior of the restaurant, the food, some of the past event, and one of their main features to the restaurant which is their rooftop.  Another feature I really liked about this site was how they set up their menu.  They have a sub menu that lists their brunch, lunch and dinner menus. Being able to cycle through the different menu types was a unique aspect hat I don’t really see to much on other restaurant websites.  So overall I think that this website really works well.  The color scheme used for it blended well together, and the navigation of the site was simple and easy.  Just based off the website alone I would visit the restaurant for a meal.  So I guess you could say it did its job.
