For this review I’ve decided to explore the No. 9 Park restaurant website, as well as that of Primanti Bros. Starting with the No. 9 Park website, it has a very clean-cut layout. On every page of the site, there is either the option to scroll down the page using the mouse, while also having access to buttons that either take you to the next section of the page, or take you directly to the top/bottom of the page. Also what is very likable is the use of open space on the page. To divide the pages into sections, they do a nice job of having an image appear in the open space, with a title for the next section overlaying the image. The image itself and the text give a clear description as to what the viewer is about to read next. As for the Primanti Bros site, it has a fairly simple layout, with some intriguing factors. One would be the use of “neon-light” style text for the title of each individual page. This gives a unique sort of feel to the restaurant itself, giving it a more urban style. Also on different pages of the site, they implement photo gallery type side scrolling to display specials, locations, and even for ordering online. What is noticeable for both sites is that they include links to different portions of the site, both at the bottom of the page, while also on the top navigation section. This allows easy access for the viewer to go to any page of the site no matter where they are on the page. I feel like the Primanti Bros website stands out more to the viewer, strictly because of their use of more vibrant colors throughout the site, but also their defining images and header text on each page, that really pull the viewer in making them want to eat that food.
Gayso – Review 2
The site I chose was the World Series of Sales website, highlighting their 2019 event. The site navigation is very easy to follow with a simple scroll top to bottom page. The sites colors are very unique. The whole site has a dark background with flashes of purple and blue appearing such as lens flares, making the background live and moving. When scrolling down the site, it highlights key information about the event, including the qualification details, location of the event, speakers, and also the charitable donations that can be made. Each section stands out on the page because they are all in a bright, white font, which stands out against the dark background, making it easier to read. What also makes the site easy to navigate, is that each section of reading leads to the next. Whether it be leading lines from one section to another, or the simplest of things by just placing the text on the page alternating on different sides of the screen. Also, each section of the site, fits the space for one screen, making it even easier to focus on one part of the site, before moving on to another. Overall the site is very well designed. With a simple design, the text and images are spread evenly throughout the site, making it easy to navigate and read.
