Category: ARTM2210 Intro to Web

Recently, I had been asked to look up possibilities for lavaliere microphones and one of the stores I was suggested to look up was Best Buy. So I went onto Best Buy’s website and searched for lavalieres. The search bar was immediately in my sight. When I searched, it gave me a few pages of options, but on the left side, there were different categories that allowed me to search for what I was looking for without going through the whole tab. An example would be a price range or a specific brand or wireless. It also shows next to the tab how many items are in that brand. When I added what I was looking at to the cart and went to check out, it gave me three shipping choices with the price and date of arrival by them. You would then click checkout to continue to log in to your best buy account and choose your payment method.

After reading the beginning section of “Don’t Make Me Think”, it helped me pick out the smallest details on Best Buy’s website. When I first went on, the search bar was visible and it stood out to where I needed to find it. A search bar should always be at the top of the page because it is what a viewer will be looking for most of the time when they go to a web site. I liked the order of the tabs on the side to reduce your search. I think the order it is in from what’s on sale to brand then price I think are some of the first things that come to mind if someone wants to look for specific details on a product. It was a little strange though that the page would always refresh when you checked off one box. To improve that, I think you should be allowed to check the boxes off first that you want to check out and click search. In other words, it’s an advanced search. The cart was up in the right hand corner to keep it visible while I continued to look at other items, but there was a notification by the cart to show that you have one item prepared to check out. When I was done, I just had to click on the cart. Finally, I liked how the choices for shipping were listed and it had the answers to some simple questions someone would be thinking as soon as they go to review their order. It had when you would receive it by and how much it costs. I did find it a little odd though that it had the name of the shipping type below that information. Most web sites would have the type of shipping first in bigger font, following the information. I still think it worked though, but others might disagree.

 

In conclusion, I think Best Buy’s website is well structured with the search. Not only do they give you the tools to help you find what you are looking for easier, but it is organized into what most customers would want to know first. With someone in media like me, it makes a good site to search options for on equipment and any other media material needed.

Let me paint you a picture. It’s the “middle” of winter after a couple weeks of a strange, spring-like warm front and because of said warm front, you are now sick, unable to leave your bed and you are wishing you had the money to justify purchasing a $11.95 one-time-use bath bomb that you keep seeing all over the internet. But, wait! You remember that more money is coming soon via loan refunds and your birthday! Let us spend this money now while you are in a fever-induced haze before you can realize it is a bad idea. Perfect.

Welcome to lushusa.com! The home page appears relatively straightforward and aesthetically pleasing. We see two, black and white header menus at the top of the screen with a multitude of links to be traversed. The topmost bar includes LUSH’s icon and homepage link and nodules to the LUSH blog, their Charity Pot, “Our Story” that explains how they differ from other bath-and-body-esque franchises, the search bar, an aptly named nodule called “Shops” with the location icon, log-in, and what appears to be a handbag icon that I would assume to be the equivalent of the shopping cart without further investigation. On the second menu bar there is a list of all of the categories of products, including “new”, bath, shower, hair, face, body, gifts, makeup, perfume, space, videos, sale and Valentine’s Day. Below the menus are a couple of thick, colorful banners that showcase new products and holiday specials. Since we are looking for the magnificent, peppermint “Intergalactic” bath bomb, for the sniffles, I hovered my cursor over the “bath” nodule from which a panel fell, giving us the options of clicking on “bath bombs”, “bubble bars”, “luxury bath melts”, and “fun”. Simple enough. I clicked on “bath bombs” and was greeted to a similar set up as the homepage, with a large banner beneath the menus, stating that we are in the right place. Scrolling down the page, we are greeted by a fairly minimalistic layout, though anything more than the pictures of the bright and colorful bath bombs would simply be busy and hard to look at. There it is! Without even clicking on the “Intergalactic” bath bomb, we are given the option to “buy now” right below the image and quantity/price information. Since we know what we want, let’s click it! Now remember that little handbag icon mentioned earlier? Well, after deciding we want to buy it immediately, we are sent back to the top of our page where a small window has opened below the icon stating that the “Intergalactic” bath bomb is now in our cart and that we can view the cart or check out. By clicking on “checkout” we are taken to a new page that allows you to sign in, sign up or guest checkout without the use of an account. From here you just enter your information, quick and easy!

I have to say, that based on “Don’t Make Me Think”, that lushusa.com recognizes the “Facts of Life” and answers to them all. In no way are you required to read more than a short message throughout the entirety of the website unless you are very interested in LUSH’s background, charitable deeds, or you like to read the descriptions of the products you are purchasing and when they want to get a message across, it’s in big, bold letters that will catch your eye even if you choose not to click “read the article”. On this site, the reasonable options are the typically the best options as most people who find themselves on LUSH’s specialty cosmetics have a vague idea of what they are searching for and easily be accessed when being able to narrow down your searches by use and then specific products.

All in all, I believe that LUSH has a strong and easy to use website. It gives you a simple path to follow that does not allow you to get completely lost on it with defined pages and menus.

The website I chose is nastygal.com. I do a lot of shopping online but have not used this site yet. When I first arrive at the homepage the first thing I think is that is looks pretty. The aesthetic is clean and modern, with just the right amount of color here and there to direct your attention to the most important places. Most of the screen is taken up by an image of a model wearing their clothes. The image’s background is a simple yet pleasing light pink-to-purple gradient.

 

Their logo is at the top left corner, and to its right are buttons to take you to pages for “new”, “clothes”, “shoes”, “accessories”, etc. When you hover over each link, a drop down menu appears with more specific categories. There is also a search bar at the top right. I am going to look for shoes, so I type “heels” into the search box.

 

I am immediately shown a list of many different heeled shoes. For each product there is a visually pleasing photograph, an item description in a clean, sans-serif font, and then the price. They also give you options to refine your search, and you can narrow the results by color, price, size, and more.

 

Upon scrolling down the page and hovering over one photo, I find that the image switches to show you a different view of the product. I click on a pair of shoes I like and it takes me to another page.

 

The page for these shoes is nice to look at and very easy to understand. Most of the screen is taken up by an image of the product. To the right, there is the name of the shoe followed by buttons with each available size. The unavailable ones are gray, and it is very clear that these sizes are not in stock. I select my size and a large black “add to tote” button appears. I click on it and then on the “view tote/checkout” button that appears.

 

I am brought to a page with my “tote” items on it as well as suggestions for other things to buy. The checkout process looks like it will be easy (there is a big black “checkout” button to the right), although I don’t know for sure because I can’t afford $110 shoes.

 

Overall, nastygal.com is exactly what I look for when shopping online (except for the prices, that is). I love their clothes and their aesthetic. It is clear that they know who their typical shopper is. It is very well constructed and does not make the user think at all. A part of “Don’t Make Me Think” focuses on how people don’t really read websites, they scan them. This website is designed for that- there are very few words, and you don’t need to sift through information to find what you’re looking for. They make it easy to glance at the screen and immediately know what to click next. I think pretty much anybody could use this website, even those who are not used to using computers or the internet.

I decided to do my first website review on the site ThinkGeek.com because I have been on their site many times because of their unqiue products based on movies and tv shows, their site from what I remember has always been very easy and fun to browse.

On their homepage I noticed that they have 3 lines of option bars to choose from. One helpfully shows categories of products and interests to choose from. Underneath these two drop down menus, is a full line of specific categories that would be helpful for people looking for new stock, buying a present, or celebrating a holiday. Lastly, the bar underneath that is a line of logos from various brands; Doctor Who, Star Wars, DC Comics and more. I found this part particularly helpful and eye appealing, it is one of the first things the eye comes to on the site and are the brands that people shop for the most.

For my item I chose to go into the Doctor Who section. I really liked their way of listing items, and the size of the thumbnails were perfect for getting an idea of what the product was, while not too big and not straining the eyes. One change I would make would be to shift the listing of the items further to the left and centering it to make it more comfortable to browse.

I found a comic book featuring the 9th doctor that I wanted and clicked on the link and had no trouble of finding the “Buy Now” button, because it was a different color and size than the rest of the text on the page. I liked this a lot about ThinkGeek and I think it makes the buying process easier. However, when I got to the cart page and clicked ‘continue shopping’ it sent me to a general book search page and not the original Doctor Who page I was on. I would have liked it to take me back to the original page I was coming from incase I wanted to purchase more things from the same brand.

Overall, I think the ThinkGeek site is good aesthetically and avoids making assumptions on gender in their design. The site has a good balance of color between black, grey, and green, and uses other colors to bring attention to other details that are important. The site also functions very well in design for people that are not familiar with their products, as it as helpful links and pictures to guide the shopping process forward.

For review 1 I chose (Newegg) website. Many of the sites specialized in display products. The company is specialized display products in a simple and uncluttered to facilitate the search process to the customer. This is what I found at this site, I saw the site design is simple and easy. I found what I’m looking for quickly.

Designer put the logo on the left clearly and crossing of the form name and is in the form of eggs. And search method was easy because everything is on the left of a horizontal form arranged in the form of categories and what the customer wants. The content of the site is clean messy, there are pictures of the products are clearly everything shown in the pictures (Price, Model, Discount, product information… Etc.). The customer can determine if this product that you do not want either.

Footer there all the information needed by the customer of the information and communication service and create a new account and social communication sites for the company and also the official sponsors for them, everything are neatly written and understandable.

I think the white space at the site does not affect them, on the contrary, serve a positive for the page smoothly and not chaos at the site and facilitate the vision of the product well. Colors on the page are ok, quiet colors, reminded me a little bit of pop art colors,  orange color with blue. The designer used Helvetica font well, clearly, has not been used is the concept of line and it is excellent to facilitate to the customer, that is good choice.

In general, the website is not unique, looks like a lot of sites the rapid purchase like Amazon and eBay. But it’s good, simple, clean and uncomplicated. The customer can search for what he/she wants well.

The site I am reviewing is for Mod Cloth, which sells clothing, bedding, room decor and more. This site fits the “Don’t Make Me Think” criteria. The buttons that you are meant to push to navigate through the site either hightlights when the cursor is hovering over it, or is within a bound box as a button, just as the book describes. Everything is laid out very simply, with headings such as “Dresses” “Shoes” and “Home & Gifts” to name a few. When you hover over the headings you get a drop down that lays it out to more specific categories such as “Graphic Tees” “Leggings” and “Bedding”. This organization makes it very easy to browse their products and to find exactly what you are looking for.

When you find the product that you want, it is very easy to add it to your “bag”, as there is a large pink button that says “Add to Bag” and even directly takes you to the bag to view all the items that you have saved in it. To view your bag at any given time, there is a small icon shaped as a tote bag, on the top right of the screen, right next to a large button that says “Check Out”.

Over all this site is very easy to navigate and is well designed to make saving and purchasing your items fast and simple.

The website i choose to review that i feel would be competition for my groups fusion restaurant website is P. F. Changs. i feel that this would be a good compareison are website as it combines chinese food with different cultures of food just as are website combines ice cream and potatoes. The layout of the website is fairly simple everything on the page is very easy to get as far as the menu tabs and others on the top off the page. The navigation i feel could be a little better because if you would click the menu page it brings you to different menus instead of the menu itself, as it is with all the other tabs as well. I also feel that the layout as far as the color palette goes it is very bland and could use more then just the two colors it has which makes the website unappealing to the user i feel. I feel a more brighter color palette would have been a better choice to give it more life. i feel the texture of the website works very good with the website the text and the way things are arranged works very well i think. over i would change the color and the navigation for the different tabs but everything else works very well.

Potato Bar Spud’s Poutinerie would be good competition for our Cream and the Crop restaurant because it includes very unique menu items. It looks like a popular college student place to go to. I can imagine this restaurant in a location such as the Strip District. After looking at the menu I found a bunch of unique options which is similar to our restaurant menu. Their website had the restaurant’s name in the upper left corner that stayed in place and a main navigation key at the top of the page. The navigation keys lead to the menu, restaurant locations, about the restaurant, franchising, and community information. When you put your mouse over any of the navigation keys on the top of the page, a yellow border appears. The background is a kitchen style looking stone tile that is stationary on the screen. Each navigation key has an orange sponge textured border. In the reading it says that texture should give off a feeling and the kitchen stone tile look gives off a home feeling.   Also in the reading, orange is thought to promote happiness, enthusiasm, and creativity. At the bottom of the page are more navigation keys such as Spud’s store, franchise login, faq, become an associate, and Spud’s club. All of the main navigation keys are on every page the website allows you to go to. There isn’t much information on the main page of the restaurant’s website. The menu only offers two pictures of items on the menu. The menu is organized into many sections. Our menu will include many pictures of our menu options. You do have to go back a page once you’re on the menu page in order to get to the other navigation keys. Shown on the locations page is a picture of more food and map views of their restaurants. I don’t believe their color scheme works for the website. I also found that when you place your mouse over the food pictures on the main page, a small sign pops up telling you what the transition into the next picture is going to be. Our Cream and the Crop restaurant website will stand out because of the many pictures and pages loaded with things to read. Our website has smooth transitions between different pages and easy navigation. Our website includes much more information about the restaurant itself and the faces behind the food than most restaurant websites.

Today I will be reviewing another restaurants website, but this time I will also be comparing it to the website that my group is currently finalizing. The restaurant that I was to find to review is that which could be in competition with my own imaginary fusion restaurant, “Cream & the Crop”, a restaurant I feel fits this bill is “Gaucho”. This is a small restaurant that serves Argentinian food, and boasts a wood fire stove. The reason I believe this business is in direct competition with “Cream & the Crop” is the location in Pittsburgh’s strip district as well as it’s unique style and reasonable costs. I will be comparing the restaurants’ websites, but first I’ll discuss the use of layout, color, texture and navigation.

Firstly I will jump into the overall layout of the Gaucho site. On the homepage we see a large container floating in the center of the screen with margins around it. In the top right hand corner of the container is the menu, featuring; restaurant, menu, find us, and reviews. It is slightly off putting that the entire top left hand side of the home screen is blank, as this is where users typically begin their search for a site ID and navigation bar. Then inside the box below the menu is a large logo followed vertically by an embedded commercial, and below that the address and hours of operation. Upon opening each of the pages in the main navigation menu I notice that apart from the home screen the rest of the site features a site ID at the top left of the screen. The center container is the only change on each page, getting larger or smaller to fit the menu, reviews, or map. The two boxes stating the address and hours of operation remain the same on every screen as well. Overall I think this site’s layout is simple and works well enough, but could be enhanced if the menu was in a place that felt more natural, and if each pages didn’t feel so disconnected from one another.

Moving on to color and texture in the design. The site uses a handful of colors to help unify the pages into one company scheme, but fails in some regards. The main colors of the site are a pale yellow, black, and light gray. These colors are used on every page, grey for main containers and menus, black in the text and logo, and a yellow background that also features a photo. This scheme works effectively to give the whole place a feel of south of the boarder food, but a few problems effect the overall effectiveness. Mostly the page that features the menu, on this page the main container has another container inside itself, this is the menu and it is very dark grey nearly black, with white text and a reddish boarder. the dark grey with white text is not seen anywhere else on the site and feels out of place. The reddish boarder could be explained as matching a strip of color between the yellow background and the background image, but these two colors even appear to be slightly different. As far as texture goes many of the colors are flat, which I don’t this is bad. Gradient effects are used sparingly on the menu bar to give a sense of roundness, and it works to create more interest on the menu bar. The largest problem as far as texture goes is the image that is found in the background of the site. The image is not high enough quality to be blown up so large, and has not been edited well enough to match the color scheme of the rest of the site.

Lastly is navigation, one of the most important things to keep in mind when creating a site. As already discussed there is an issue with the menu being located in the top right as opposed to the top left, this could confuse users as the first place they look is to the top left for a site ID and menu options. That being said the menu does it’s job, with a simple hover effect that shows what can be clicked on and what can’t be. But there is no way to tell what page the user is on based on the menu bar. This problem is made worse by having the word Gaucho before each page name so that’s all that can fit into the tab above. There is also no courtesy navigation at the bottom of the page, which is a useful tool when navigating a site. Other issues include blue lettering in places when they are not clickable links, and the logo sometimes linking to the homepage and sometimes being just a graphic. Overall the navigation is simple and while it does it’s job, it could also be improved on for the user.

The Gaucho website is not bad, it is very simple and does what it needs to in many ways. I feel that “Cream & the Crop” will have a superior website that will be usable and visually appealing. It will do this by having a more unique layout featuring a fixed menu that scrolls with the user, as well as unified pages. With a constant color scheme that gives a feeling of an old fashion ice cream shop while reinforcing textures that bring up visuals of potatoes. And finally by clearly showing where the user is, and featuring multiple ways to navigate to the same page, for a more organic user experience.

As a doughnut fusion restaurant, I chose to review a website that directly competes, a popular doughnut restaurant in Chicago, Illinois: Glazed and Infused. The website’s address is https://www.goglazed.com/index.php. The website immediately stood out to me, it’s simple but vibrant and definitely was designed well. The Glazed and Infused Website uses a lot of mediums together: illustration, type, and photography within the same page. In other words, there’s a lot to look at.

Upon first looking at the website, there is a blatant color scheme which successfully ties the elements of the page together. The prominent color of the website is a bright orange, which creates cohesion and instills brand recognition. Otherwise the color palette is cream and black, which complement and calm down the vibrancy of the orange. There is an interesting texture to the background color, which gives it a vintage paper feel. This in combination with sketchy illustrations and detailed photographic textures creates a retro yet modern mood to the website. I think that the website does a good job to attract a certain audience.

The layout and navigation of the website are fairly standard. The homepage draws you into a button labeled “Order Here” which takes you to the menu page. The rest of the homepage is general information about the restaurant. Otherwise there is a navigation bar near the top of the website which lists important categories like menu, locations, etc. Hovering over these aspects of the navigation bar places an orange bar over the text, and upon clicking it leads you to another page with information and photography. Photography is a major aspect of the website’s layout and uses large photographs of the restaurant and doughnuts to head each page. The photography is great and looks very appealing; I think that using large, indulgent photographs was a wise decision to entice viewers to purchase their food.

Everything is fairly well organized apart from feeling a bit cluttered. One thing I did not like about the website is a panel at the bottom of the page which has several, but not all of the same buttons as the top navigation bar. I do not like that you cannot access all elements easily from one navigation bar alone; for instance, the social media icons are only found at the bottom of the page. A lot of the same information is repeated and I feel as though the website needs to be more streamline and simple. Overall, the website had a fairly straightforward layout, but a lot of the information and pages were overwhelming with content.

In comparison to my restaurant’s page I think it competes well. Both websites use a selective color palette and a vibrant, retro appeal. I think what will make our website stand out is its more modern take on a classic food item. The one-page website with a streamline design and minimal information will make it easier for the viewer to be guided through content.

In this review I used carrabbas. There use of color and texture were very good. It has great depth with the background image and foreground image. layout is also good but is not a traditional and could get confusing. They do a good job at navigation but could use more features to make it pop and easier on the user. in our website we use excellent navigation with clear information.

The fusion restaurant I have created for my final site is titled Bacon & Bliss, and it incorporates bacon into many common dishes. There are not many restaurants that focus solely on the sale of bacon related items, but the ones that do could be considered direct competition for my style of restaurant. One close example would be a restaurant titled “Bakn”, and it is located on Main Street in Carnegie, PA. The examples of items they sell are very similar to the ones my restaurant would be offering. When I first opened Bakn’s webpage at eatbakn.com, I noticed how they utilized a full page layout. This gave me a large image of one of their food options the moment I opened the site. Another thing that stood out was the bold set of info in the upper right corner. It displays their location and phone number, leaving it very easy to find when navigating to the site. As I continued on further I began to realize the website is a one-page scrolling site. The navigation bar only jumped to a certain part of the page, instead of taking me to another one. The color choices they made closely match the choices I had made for Bacon & Bliss. They used red and gray as their two main colors, with warm toned images of their food to help balance everything out against the white background. They also utilized texture in their main logo which gives it a ‘rustic’ look, matching the style of the restaurant.

The only thing I would change about this site layout would be to put the hours somewhere else on the page besides the bottom. This would be fine if it where a multiple page site, but being a one page layout makes it difficult and time consuming for the user to navigate through. This is one main aspect where my site’s layout would work better, because the information is very quick and easy to get to and I also have a navigational tab for it as well. Another part of my site that may work better is how it is totally contained in a wrapper. In my personal opinion, it is easier to read when everything is contained together, and it is much easier to find information. After viewing Bakn’s website, I realized I could add more user interaction with my site in order to draw people in. Branding is also very important when creating a website because it must reflect what the restaurant aims  to be seen as to the public. Bakn’s branding incorporates humor into it’s message, and they have a very modern take on their business. This kind of branding is what I aim for when creating a restaurant such as this, and I feel I am working my way towards that goal.

In all, I feel that both restaurant sites share many similarities such as color scheme, menu, and branding, but also differ in their layout and information hierarchy. Both strive to sell a product. 

For review 4 I chose to compare my fusion restaurant’s website to Dunkin’ Donuts. For the final project, my team and I decided that we would create a donut fusion restaurant that would offer savory or sweet sandwiches that would sit between a donut. Being that Dunkin’ Donuts is a huge name, especially for donuts, I feel that this business could be competition for our restaurant, The O Zone.

Dunkin’ Donuts is a very well known and loved establishment throughout our country and for that reason I feel that they will be The O Zone’s biggest competition in donut selling. The website for Dunkin’ is very messy in my opinion. There are a lot of bright colors going on and content randomly placed on the pages. There is a lot of text also present, which makes it hard for me to locate what I intended to. However, the navigation is fairly simple since they have a navigation bar located at the top of the page with links to different things such as: drinks, food, and so forth. When I clicked on “Hot beverages,” I was lead to another page with pictures of their different offerings and the names of each product beneath. I found this aspect of the site to be successful because I certainly didn’t have to do any thinking. As far as texture goes, there isn’t much present other than a few gradients on keys and navigation bars. I don’t think the lack of texture takes away from this site, but the messy layout and highly saturated colors don’t do it much justice. In all, the site is decently put together, but it is not the most aesthetically pleasing design that I have seen.

For The O Zone, my group and I decided that our website will be a single page site that can be navigated simply with a constant key. Upon entering the page, our logo will be at the top center of the homepage with our location on both sides, and a key to navigate the content of the website beneath it. The key has clickable buttons that will take the viewer directly to what they are looking for. For example, we will have a button that says “The Menu.” Once clicked, the page will scroll directly to the menu portion of the site. This concept goes for the rest of the content on our site. When our viewers want to change content or go to another section of the website, they can do this easily with a navigation bar that moves with the page and sits at the top always. We felt that this technique would make our website as user friendly as possible and allow our viewers to never have to think. The background color of the website is black. The content of the page will live in a margin that is more narrow than the page as whole and will have a grey background color. The accent colors of The O Zone are comprised of dull and saturated hues of purple, pink, and tan. To create a well flowing page, we decided each heading will be the same color, bright pink-orange, and our body text will be a dull tan. Instead of having photographs to present our products, we decided we would create our own illustrations for our unique products. This idea allows for the viewer to have an idea of what they can expect to get at the restaurant, while still leaving some mystery and fun for their visit. Like Dunkin’ Donuts, texture will not be a prominent part of our website. The O Zone is a chic and modern establishment and giving our site a flat look compliments the concept. In all, our fusion restaurant will stand out against Dunkin’ Donuts because: we have many products you cannot get at Dunkin’ or anywhere else for that matter and our website is trendy while still being user friendly and easy to navigate through.

http://bravofranco.com/index.asp VS. http://www.burgatorybar.com/

These restaurants are very different and are going after a different audience. Therefore, the styles of the sites are different, but I believe both do a good job.

First, Bravo Franco’s site. The first thing that grabs the user’s attention on the homepage would be the three large pictures of their food and restaurant placed in the center. Then, the user sees the toolbar that is split by the restaurant’s logo. The toolbar consists of all the necessary pages to navigate to and above the toolbar, there is the restaurant’s phone number and address. The site is easy to navigate. The store’s hours are at the bottom of the site in their own section titled “hours of operation.” This makes them easy to find. One visual problem would be the menu section in the bottom right of the homepage. The different categories of the menu are listed in bright red, a color that doesn’t fit the overall scheme of the site. That could because they want to emphasize that section, but their menu already has it’s own page that can be accessed through the toolbar at the top of the page. Although the site’s aesthetic is a little rough around the edges, it does a good job at making sure everything that needs to found is easy to find.

Burgatory’s site has a completely different feel to it. The first thing the user sees on their site is a completely interactive look at their burgers and shakes. This is easy to use and works well for restaurant who’s main attraction is it’s unique menu. The toolbar is placed directly next to the interactive menu and has a way to navigate to useful sections such as the full menu, locations, ways to contact , and merchandise. All of the locations are also listed at the bottom of the homepage. One problem I do have with the site is the fact that the hours of operation are placed at  the bottom right of the homepage in small, dark red font that may be hard to read for some. The site is definitely unique and modern looking, but the hours of operation should definitely be easier to find. It’s an important part of a restaurant’s site.

Although Burgatory looks slicker and more modern, I feel it easier to find what you want on Bravo Franco’s web site.
