The site I decided to review is for a pierogi place called Pierogie Plus, I chose them because our Fusion restaurant is a Pittsburgh meets New Orleans fusion restaurant that specializes in class pierogies with a cajun twist. Overall their website is okay, the color scheme works, and the font is readable. One negative we see right off the bat is the inconsistency in font size. In some places, it shrinks when needed, but there are spots where the font is just drastically bigger while surrounded by much smaller fonts, this can cause the page to look bumpy when reading which can distract the viewer.

The website is informative but should try to keep the tabs on the main bar to a minimum. There are currently 9 tabs on the main bar, and most of these categories could all go under one tab. I think most websites that work well tend to have only 3-5 bars on the home tab, in order to not confuse or overwhelm the customer.

I think our site will stand out because of its easy navigation, and appealing color scheme. Our website gives a lot of valuable information while staying simple without confusion.

The single-page site that I chose to review is Opendoor Design. It has a very professional design and color palette, which makes the site easy to navigate. The main color choices for the font include black, white, and blue. These colors can also be seen in the graphics used on the page. Most of the page has verticle scrolling with linked tabs at the top that take you to each section. In the “Teams” section there is horizontal scrolling, and tabs that when clicked switches to the corresponding information in the overall “Teams” tab.

I decided to look at Dick’s Sporting Goods website for this month’s review. Overall the website is easy to follow. They have a wide range of categories displayed at the top which gives the user an idea of what they have or what they might be looking for. As you scroll the homepage you can find the “top-selling products” and “hot in your area” along with any new collections that may have come out. Along with a seasonal tab for valentines day gifts.

I decided to look for winter boots. I first decided to hover over the “outdoor” category tab at the top. This showed a drop down of more categories with sub-categories. I went to the “snow” section and clicked “winter boots” The site then displayed three more categories, Men’s. Women’s, and Youth. I clicked Women’s, which took me to another page. On the left, more filters/categories are displayed, and I clicked on my preferences. The page refreshes every time you add a new filter to your search. For each filter, it will show you how many shoes are available under that category. After filtering I found the item I wanted and added it to the cart. Once I click add to cart it gives me options to pick a size, to pick delivery or in-store pickup, and the shoe width if applicable. It then gives you the option to view the cart or continue shopping. Clicking on “view cart” shows you an estimated total, “continue shopping” takes you back to the previous page you were at

I think this site is effective because it’s easy to narrow down to exactly what you’re looking for
