For this review of a single page site I decided to go with Cards Against Humanity’s website for their Climate Catastrophe Pack that was released in 2021. For this particular website you scroll up and down to see the information. Plus like most of the things Cards Against Humanity does the website is full of jokes, easter eggs and references to other things.
The true defining characteristics of the website though, is the color. The website is not full of different colors as there are only three primary colors used, red, black and white. When you open the website it’s a black background with big white text saying Cards Against Humanity Climate Catastrophe Pack, with red outlines of circles spinning in the background. As you scroll down the site the background color changes from black to red to black and then to white. When the color goes from black to red there are animated flames that lead into the red. When you scroll down a bit further it transitions back to red with a water or wave kind of look. The last transition a is a little further down where the black transitions to white.
The layout of the website is very simple and very easy to navigate. As stated, to navigate the website you have to scroll down, so that and the website not being very big is a nice way to keep navigation simple. As stated the first thing you see is a black background with big white text saying Cards Against Humanity Climate Catastrophe Pack. If you scroll a little bit then you see that underneath is a brief description of the pack, why they made it and the announcement of their partnership with the Coalition for Rainforest Nations. Scroll some more and they provide a link to purchase the card pack with a sneak peek of the cards. There is also a place to enter your zipcode to see if you are eligible for a discount on the pack as the discount is calculated by how screwed the area where you live is. Underneath that is a fun fact stating that every pack includes tree and tomato seeds and they offer a seed planting guide. The final area of the website is a Frequently Asked Questions section.
Overall the site is easy to navigate and pleasant to look at as there are few colors and all the text is big and bold. This site is designed well and a great example of less is more. The website cuts to the chase as to why they made the card pack, the charity work going along with it and a link to buy the card pack. The website is not crowded or difficult to navigate. The text being big and bold allows for an easy read. It’s a short, sweet and to the point type of website.
