Continuous-Scroll Site Review

The website that I am reviewing is titled “Windows of New York” ( http://www.windowsofnewyork.com ). This website is an infinite-scroll website that shows depictions of windows in New York City as drawings. The website shows the drawing and gives the location of the window in the city. Per each drawing, the background matches the color scheme being displayed and, per the assignment, the website holds hundreds of depictions of the windows of New York, making it a continuous scroll.

The aesthetics of this website are really great. The colors are muted, but not too dull. The color schemes used are eye catching whilst not being overwhelming and, as previously mentioned, the color scheme per scroll matches the window being displayed. The website is very minimalistic, which works in its favor. Simply, the website is what it advertises itself to be, a website about the windows of New York, nothing more, nothing less. The text used for each location is continuous throughout the website which gives it a sense os continuity. It [the text] is also in the same spot every time which contributes to the continuity of the website.

If I were to change anything about this website, it would probably be the minimalistic aspect of it. I, myself, am not a very minimalistic person. If I were to stylize this website I would add more to it in terms of text, maybe describing the location better or giving a background as to where the window leads, what building it belongs to, etc… Overall, I think this is a great website. It’s super interesting and fun and doesn’t demand a lot from the viewer.
