In this review I have chose the two restaurants Red lobster and Buca di Beppo. When opening these two sites they have very similar headings and layouts. The balance of the two websites sites are also very similar, they both use the whole page with a variety of options to click through and pictures that are clickable. The websites both have city between the different pictures and the clickable menus. The Red Lobster Menu has a drop down that has pictures of each of the different menu’s to help guide each customer to which point they want to reach. In the Buca di Beppo menu you must select your location and your store to see the different items they offer to each individual store. The emphasis is based on the photos of the food and then it transitions to the special they are running. The sites implement the important things because it is well set up and is easy for ease of access. You are able to get through the site with ease, and quickly find the information and tradition back to anther page. The Red Lobster page is a little bit to smoothed together and its hard to focus on one piece of it. The buca di Beppo is a little more subtle but I do not like how much you have to go through to find the Menu items in your local store. I would say that the Red Lobster Page would be drawing more propel attention into it, just for the fact that has more going on and the drop down bar is easy to use.

For the second review I chose the website Keep Portland Weird: Earthquake Preparedness. When you first open the website you are greeted with a loading diamond shape and then the page automatically scrolls down to a enter button. There you can click which enters you into the site and then you get lowered into another page that has the alphabet. When you click on one of the individual letters it drops you to a different page that lists that activity that is coordinated with that letter. This website is very colorful and has very nice artwork. The colors all work together and are all pastel like, the colors change as you scroll through different pages. When you are navigating through you also see the different graphics change when you select a letter, the graphics range from different bars of colors that start at the bottom and it takes you to that page. Each of the different letters have their own color scheme. This website isn’t scrollable able, it is only accessible through clicking the different boxes.  When looking through the different subjects you are able to share them through social media. The textures thought the whole piece were  very attractive and they are the pictures from the interactive pages. The background images throughout the whole website are very cool, they are all the art work made up for the select pages or the devastation from the earthquakes. The content through the piece is every read because you have a picture of the item and the text matches the color scheme of that letter.

Overall I would say that this website is very well done. They did a very good job with the overall design of the whole page. Being able to interact throughout the whole website through clicking while also getting the effect of movement through the whole piece. It was very nice to be able to navigate and read each part easily.

 

 

The website I chose to review is Musician’s friend. The first element I saw when I opened the homepage was everything was an organized in a fashion that is accessible t0 everyone. I then used the search bar to look up a guitar, when I found the guitar I wanted, I then advanced to the page for that guitar and added it to my cart. When I clicked to add to cart, a pop up of a warranty option came up and it gave you four options to choose from and then you proceeded to your cart. I like that you are given the option to see what the warranty would cost. If you are pricing out your product and want to see what options you can add so that you see how much money it would cost you in the end. When you are finally in your cart you get a couple more options, you can either review your order and warranty or proceed to checkout. Another thing that is on the page is the option to add things to your order that are related to your item. If you choose the option of adding another item you will restart the process from the point of where you added the guitar to your cart. I find it is very easy to navigate through the site. I believe that from the beginning of the process through the check out does not make you think. It is easy to use the search bar and the pull door category to find any type of product that you are looking for even if you are not a musician. This process made me relieve that some sites are a lot harder to use now that I’ve come to realize how easy this website was to use.
