After exploring The Principles of Beautiful Web Design and Don’t Make Me Think, I was able to further analyze the web site http://change-the-world.unltd.org.uk/. Live to Change the World is the title of this single page website. Throughout the website, Live to Change the World takes you on a journey through their past, what they know now, how they are implementing their idea, the social impact of their idea, and what is to come in the future. In this one page website, the colors are bold. This site has a space theme at the beginning, then takes you down to the sky, and then eventually to street level. It is easy to navigate this site as it allows you to scroll up and down throughout your experience. If there is a specific section you wish to view, a menu bar pops up at the very top of the site allowing you to be one click away from the information you wish to find. The use of the large bold headers, the font colors that stand out against the background, the graphics and even the charts help me, the user, to understand and differentiate information that the site is trying to present. I like how the blank circles turn over into photographs when you scroll through the site. This feature helps catch your eye and draw attention to what they are intending to show you. I also like how the line and pie graphs pop up as you scroll down past them. This forces you to stop and read how the information is distributed. In my opinion, Live to Change the World is a successful one-page website that is easy for users to navigate and the bright colors and detailed textures draw you in and keep your attention throughout the entire site.
