So the two sites that I took upon to visit were Bravo Franco Ristorante and Six Penn Kitchen. For starters both sites are in balance with their image placement and alignment of the navigation menus. One thing taken from Six Penn Kitchen that I noticed was very similar to Bravo Franco Ristorante is the layout of the front page. They are keen on showcasing their dishes, preferably the most favorite by chef or consumer, and they both have similar styles of dining fashion placed from the imagery. Krug states in “Don’t Make Me Think” that putting more into the page to make a page shorter helps with people being able to see all the content without having to scroll anywhere.
The nature of Six Penn Kitchen is more simplistic, with very little text placed on the front page, making the consumers seek for more if they are interested in trying out the restaurant. It seems that this is a tactic placed more on Six Penn Kitchen’s page than it would be on Bravo Franco Ristorante’s page. Bravo Franco’s is more inclined to place text about the hours they are open, what they are all about with the food, and their events all at the bottom in a short paragraph throughout page switches. What Bravo Franco Ristorante’s page and Six Penn Kitchen’s page does is also stated in Krug’s five things about helping the user with using the interface with less noise level. Both seem to accomplish that aspect of being able to read and use the navigation controls, text, etc. all in the first page. Six Penn Kitchen’s page is with little to no text so you are basically using the navigation bar up top to scrounge through the info on their tabs placed at the top pages. Bravo’s is identical in the same style where using the nav. bars and tabs up top will help with showcasing their information about the place.
Something about Six Penn Kitchen’s page caught my attention based on their usage of less info, but more stylized image placement on the page. Their layout seems to grasp at placing their great food, what they have accomplished, and what they feature their in one simple task from placing them in a contained layout format. They’ve basically unified the home page as a simplistic one phrase way of describing their restaurant, because they feel less is more helps with bringing in new costumers.
