Review 3

In my third review, I am reviewing No. 9 and Six Penn Kitchen websites. They both have a nice balance with their website. They have the main content centered and a black background. No. 9 takes another step and blocked off their text with a contrasting colored div and black text. This adds some emphasis to the text, and makes the website look cleaner. Six Penn Kitchen only has the pictures outlined with a small point boarder, and leaves the text on the plain black background. It makes it difficult to read because the text is such a difference from the background.
No. 9 has a small issue with unity throughout the pages of the website. They have some of the pages with just a picture as the header of the page. On the other pages, they have a picture as the header of the page, but with a blue colored div in the top left. Either one of these layouts look good, they should pick one and format the rest of the pages as that. They do continue to have the same layout, fonts, navigation panel, and footer throughout the whole website. This makes it pretty uniform, other than the headers. The navigation panel has a way for the user to go home, and to all the other pages of the site. They bold and italics some text to emphasize the point. They also have the navigation pane text in a light and bright blue. This may be too bright and can hurt some people’s eyes.
Six Penn keeps unity throughout all of the pages of the website. They keep the same color scheme, which uses contrasting colors to emphasize certain text. They have a varying layout within the text, but it is all still centered within a certain range. The navigation panel and footer are the same on all the pages. Six Penn’s navigation panel also has a way for the user to go home, and all the other pages of the site as well.
I believe that No. 9 is more effective at drawing my attention. The rotating pictures on their home page are definitely intriguing, and Six Penn does not have this feature. No. 9 website looks more clean cut and professional than Six Penn. I think the different colored divs blocking out the text really gives the website a little more depth.
