I chose to compare my final website Dobl\u00e9 Dragon with the website for the restaurant: Ellen\u2019s Stardust which is located in New York City.\u00a0 I chose to compare these websites because they both are restaurants that focus on the experience of being there.\u00a0 Dobl\u00e9 Dragon is geared towards an alternative younger group of people.\u00a0 It has quite a dark theme and could be considered \u201cgoth\u201d in its style.\u00a0 Ellen\u2019s Stardust is a family restaurant that is popular for the performances the staff do because they are all people working while trying to find a job on Broadway.<\/p>\n
Beginning with Ellen\u2019s Stardust, the homepage is set up in a very simple manner, the nav bar is located on the left side of the screen and there are several photos covering the home page.\u00a0 The photos depict the different activities that occur at the restaurant.\u00a0 It is somewhat confusing because little blurbs of information pop up when the cursor moves over the image making you think it\u2019s clickable.\u00a0 The nav bar is set up in an easy manner.\u00a0 The different links to the pages are clear leaving zero hesitation when clicking on a page.\u00a0 The gallery page doesn\u2019t link to anything so I don\u2019t know if there is something wrong with the website at the moment but that\u2019s the only page not working.\u00a0 Everything else is set up in a clean manner.\u00a0 When moving through the pages, there is a good mixture of images and type.\u00a0 There isn\u2019t a lot of type making it very easy to take in the information.\u00a0 Images are used a lot to help assist the reader take in information.\u00a0\u00a0 Their use of type stays consistent throughout the website except for the menu.\u00a0 But every other page uses the same font and font size to differentiate between headings and blocks of information.\u00a0 Every page has the navigation bar on the left which contains links to all of the pages of the website while also including the logo and links to their social media pages.\u00a0 The website is predominately white, allowing the images to bring color to the website.\u00a0 This website overall is created in a clean manner that makes it very easy to use.<\/p>\n
Comparing Dobl\u00e9 Dragon\u2019s website, the homepage is also created in a very simple manner.\u00a0 The only items contained are the logo, hours, nav bar, and location with google maps.\u00a0 The nav bar is set up in three different pages with a sub navigation on the menu page.\u00a0 When reading the nav bar, the page titled \u201cour people\u201d could possibly be slightly confusing because it doesn\u2019t have a clearly named title.\u00a0 The style overall is very consistent with limited images and spaced out type.\u00a0 We kept the information light on the website as to not overwhelm the user.\u00a0 When clicking the menu, there is a sub navigation menu that breaks up the menu into the different types of food or drinks.\u00a0 This was done to make it very easy for people to find what they are looking for.\u00a0 Both of these websites have very simple designs with few different pages.\u00a0 They both have limited text use to make it easier to read as well.<\/p>\n
While both restaurants focus on the experience that will happen when you visit it, Dobl\u00e9 Dragon focuses more on the people who work at the restaurant.\u00a0 In addition, the Dobl\u00e9 Dragon website has a strong style to it that matches what the atmosphere would feel like when at the restaurant.\u00a0 Ellen\u2019s Stardust says that it has a retro style within the restaurant itself but has very little to represent that in the website.\u00a0 I believe that is a major draw back because if the viewer isn\u2019t captured by the appearance of the website they might not be interested enough to read about it.\u00a0 So not giving a feeling of your restaurant in the appearance of the website can make people click away if they feel they don\u2019t have the time to find out if it would be a restaurant that interests them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
