The clarity of the navigation on both of the sites makes your choices practically mindless like Krug talks about in the reading. \u00a0 They also don&#8217;t have a lot going on on the homepage which makes the picture of the food the center of attention. \u00a0This shows how they use the important things Krug talked about in the reading. \u00a0He talked about keeping the noise down. \u00a0Noise is referring to the extra stuff on each page. \u00a0Both of these sites keep their extra stuff to a minimum so that the food is the central focus. \u00a0This is carried though out both of the sites. This helps to unify the site. \u00a0Also, This shows how Krug was talking about getting people off on the right foot. \u00a0The pages and easy to navigate and you can clearly find the menu, about the restaurant, contact, and other necessary parts. Krug, also, talks about making navigation easy and effortless. \u00a0 Next, I looked at the menus for these places. \u00a0The next thing the Krug talks about is omitting needless words. \u00a0The menus on these sites are short and to the point. \u00a0They give enough information for the customer to know what they are ordering, but not too many words that they don&#8217;t even want to finish reading. \u00a0I know I hate when restaurants have such long and complicated descriptions because its hard to understand and it makes me loose attention to it. The next thing I looked at was the layout of the actual site. \u00a0Did everything look like it lined up \u00a0 and look like it was supposed to be there. \u00a0I believe that Peter Allan&#8217;s website looked pretty good. \u00a0There was a nice header at the top. \u00a0The text was easy to read. \u00a0I would have to say that there was a bit too much white space in the menu portion of the site, though. \u00a0It started to hurt my eyes to look at all that white. \u00a0Also, I don&#8217;t like how the heading part comes down when you start moving the page. \u00a0I believe that it should stay visible, but it looks like it is delayed in coming down the page. \u00a0No. 9 Park&#8217;s website looked cool. \u00a0I like how well the side navigation works for their site and I like the contrast in the colors of the pictures to the side navigation. \u00a0One thing I do not like is that the information under each of the pictures is lined up with just the picture and not the entire grey box. \u00a0I believe that is looks okay for all the section but the menu. \u00a0I believe that it looks completely messed up for the menu sections and throws off the balance of the site. \u00a0 In my opinion, I believe that Peter Allan&#8217;s Italian Restaurant is the better website at drawing your attention for a few reasons. \u00a0The first reason is the layout. \u00a0No.9 Park has some issues with its layout that make it look off balance. \u00a0Peter Allan&#8217;s is layer out in a way that balances it and unifies each page together. \u00a0Another reason that Peter Allan&#8217;s website is better at drawing your attention would be the pictures. \u00a0Their pictures move and the movement makes the food looks so much more appetizing than static pictures. \u00a0 No. 9 Park show pictures that are not always of the food and do not seem to be as intriguing to me as Peter Allan&#8217;s. \u00a0All in all, these are both decent websites, but I believe that Peter Allan&#8217;s is definitely the better of the two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this Restaurant website review, I chose Peter Allan&#8217;s Italian restaurant and No. 9 Park. \u00a0First, I looked at the home pages of each of the sites. \u00a0These are two\u00a0very similar restaurants in the choices that they offer and the theme that they have. \u00a0They are both very elegant or high class restaurants, therefore their &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/?p=1472\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Review 3 Lindsay Smith&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-artm2210-intro-to-web","category-site-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/56"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1472"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1472\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1473,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1472\/revisions\/1473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
