Review 3

The two websites that I looked at for the third review were Burgatory.com and Sixpennkitchen.com. When visiting Sixpennkitchen.com, I immediately noticed that the logo of the restaurant was displayed to the left corner as is typical for websites, but it was not that much larger than the other text on the web page and the logo seemed to blend in a bit with the main navigation bar. Burgatory.com was a bit different in the way that the page length was altogether shorter and the navigation bar was to the right side of the webpage. I noticed that when on a separate page, both websites have the feature that if you click on the logo in the left corner, you are immediately taken to the home page.  Both of the websites include a site i.d. , utilities and sections on each page but neither one includes a search bar anywhere. Both of these websites include the feature that if using the navigation bar and clicking on something like the menu, the title would then be highlighted in order to show a visitor where they are on the website. Neither website above has an overload of extra words or information, Burgatory keeps their pages simple with little content and more of a basic design. While Six Penn Kitchen is a bit more sophisticated with their website, including more of a description under such tabs like the Events part of the website. Although both websites contain imagery that is interesting, Burgatory is on a higher level when it comes to catching a visitor’s attention. Their images of the Burgers at the restaurant are up close, interactive and larger than even the logo on the home page of the website. This gives the visitor an idea of what Burgatory is really about and what makes them Burgatory without using text or a basic welcome and introduction on the home page. These burgers on the home page also give Burgatory the chance to let the visitor navigate to the menu by running their mouse over the burger being displayed and clicking the menu dialog box that pops up. On the home page of Six Penn, you cannot click on any of the images or navigate any other way besides the navigation bar at the top of the page. This makes their website a little less interesting mostly because it isn’t as interactive to a visitor. When looking for the utilities at the bottom of the site, I noticed that neither site included one. For the needs of the two businesses, this seemed to be alright and did not change the use of the website when it came to navigating through it. Altogether both of these websites are mostly successful for their own individual uses, style and needs for their businesses.
