Our project, dubbed <em>Kicks for Cause<\/em>, is a charity foundation that takes gently used shoes and sells them at a reasonable rate. All of the proceeds go to a different charity that is rotated through each month. If we had more time, we would probably implement a fun contest sort of thing where, if you donate a certain amount of shoes, then <em>KfC<\/em> would give out rewards for cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>The site I will be comparing to is <em>toms.com<\/em>, a well known charity organization.<\/p>\n<p>Now, at first glance, I notice that the layout for our project actually turned out very similar to how <em>toms<\/em> is laid out. We unfortunately did not have enough time to do as much as <em>toms<\/em>, but with what we had we were on a pretty good track to an ok website. Both sites showed a very simple color palette, and navigation was also quite easy to use. Both sites also contained mostly images,with only bare minimum text to explain what is offered.<\/p>\n<p>Time was against us for this project, but I feel like we could eventually have a website as visually pleasing and usable if we kept working on the <em>KfC<\/em> site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this final monthly review we were to choose a website that relates to our final project, and compare how much better it is than our project turned out.
