For my review two of a one page website I chose the site Alyoop of the week “http://alyoopoftheweek.com”. This website caught my eye with its simplicity and kept me interest by its ease of use. It is a scroll up and down website with a page wide illustration of their choice for the best NBA alyoop of the week. As I commented earlier this is a very simple but eye pleasing site.
First aspect I noticed is the colors, none of the colors they use are very dual colors. Even the blacks and the browns they use have a sense of glow to them. They also use a lot of warm captivating colors such as red, orange, and yellows. The last thing I noticed about the colors are they are integrated into each illustration carefully and represent each teams main colors. Using small accent colors help to bring out the players and relevant designs on the page.
Another aberrance that I noticed on this site is how the content is set up. There is a very apparent vertical grid system that seems to be used with most of the content being center justified. Each illustrations text is looks to be some kind of slab serif font that guides you eye down to the players cartoon like illustration. The cartoon like illustration is very simplistic but each player is still very recognizable.
Lastly aspect I noticed was the navigation. While there is not much to say about it other than it is very easy to use. This is so because there are very few choices you have to make. You look at the player and ask do I want to see is alyoop and if so there is a distinct watch button under the player. If press watch it brings up a video screen and plays the video. With an “X” so you can exit the playing video when your done or keep it up and school to other players.
Over all I think this is a very successful site due to its ease of use and the visually pleasing content. At no point was I board or put off by any of the navigations. Lastly it left me with the feeling that I wouldn’t mind coming back to the site to see future content. Which in my opinion is what making a good site is all about.
