This website is the page of a german family business that revolves around the sustainability of natural resources with oak being a main contributor. The color pallet consists of soft whites, tans, charcoal gray; neutral earth tones. For the sections with a mainly white background, the outline of wood texture is overlapped to give variation in what you’re looking at. Being a single page site the general direction of the page is scrolling vertically, top to bottom, with some sections giving you the option to click right or left to slide through photos.
This website exhibits good design. Even though it was in a different language I was still intrigued by the design. As a whole it was easy to navigate with clear direction of where to find specific information. The text “Don’t Make Me Think” stresses the importance of the sites ease and readability for the user. This website uses the design elements of symmetry through its images and text and emphasis through its headings to assist in this. Each section is clean cut with minimal text to avoid clutter. Overall I love the design of this website, it’s simple and clean cut. I’m not used to single page sites so this was definitely a good one to look at. Although it is only one page it incorporated a lot of different elements into it to add variety such as a slideshow, interactive button, with varying layouts dependent upon the section. Chapter 3 mentioned a photo where if you toggled over a face a blurb would appear with their name. This concept was used with a bock of wood where different diets of the wood slab highlighted different information. I was very impressed and think this website definitely helps the family business.
