Knock Knock…Who’s There?…Review 2 by Merritt Donoghue!

Creating a “new” design is a challenge today since technology is a dominating factor. The easy way to start something today is to use a template and to make that version unique. What captured my attention with Studio Kwik’s design was it’s unique,, and original style that was clean, clear, and concise. The page was created for people to have insight in  their fixed charged for water and energy. It provides information in a fun way that is visually appropriate for friends and family. It is built for the future and easy to use.

The website I chose from http://onepagelove.com/ was Studio Kwik’s unique design called Knock Knock. From the start, the site was well organized. The color scheme used was a dull navy blue and a dusty orange where important information was kept. The shadow used for the background was a light grey and white, like how this blog was designed.

The user is able to navigate intuitively by scrolling down the page and also by following the guide, which is a constant line. With the flowing line, the site is easy to scan due to the numbers provided that act as milestones throughout the page. It is clean and simple which pleases the users and draws them to the content.

I believe the site’s design is well designed because of the color scheme, navigation, organization and originality of the page. Overall, the single page is pleasing to the user and stress-free, which makes the site a more enjoyable experience for all users.

Merritt Donoghue Review 1

I chose ModCloth for my first review. ModCloth is known for their vintage clothing but also sell shoes, accessories, socks, and home decor. It is all listed across the top of the website, each category including a drop-down menu for specific searching. It is also pleasing to see pictures available on the drop-down menu.

The website had a color scheme of white with variations of blue for the text and search bars. Overall, the layout of the website is very welcoming to a new shopper. The site is clean and simple to read and control. The one thing I dislike is the light variations of blue, since it is harder to read fast.

After browsing, I chose to “buy” a pair of shoes. The page changed into a dominating picture of the shoes with options to zoom in for a closer look, choose a shoe size, and see customer reviews. I then chose to proceed by clicking the red “Add to my Bag” option and was sent directly to checkout. At this point I had the options of checking out, removing the item, or continuing to shop. On this page, the checkout button were prominent in color (red) and text (bold).

Overall, Modcloth is a great website for vintage shoppers who are looking for a quality item, fast.
