Site Review Number Two: Single Page Site

For my second site review, I chose to critique the website maidstonedrivinglessons.com. I chose this site because it is not a great example of a single page site. I spent more than 2 minutes trying to figure out what to do with it before I realized there was a tiny navigation menu to use at the top. The only thing I wanted to do with this site was drive the car. I tried all the tricks I knew. Then I was informed that it drives itself when you use the navigation bar. This bothers me because I thought the site would be more fun to navigate.

The site is not all bad, though. The graphics are very pleasing and the background interacts with the foreground well to give us the feeling that everything is moving on a 3D plane. It is also neat how the car drives past the same background but you don’t really notice until you’ve played around on the site for a little bit. This site could easily be improved by making the navigation links much larger and giving the use some direction so that they aren’t mashing the right arrow hoping to play driver with the little red car. This site makes me think. Me no Gusta.
