I chose to review and compare no.9park.com and burgatorybar.com for this assignment.
To start the No.9 Park Website is easy to navigate and pleasing to look at. They use a Hierarchical/ Sequence architecture and Global/Secondary Navigation. This makes the site user friendly and easy to follow. This site gives off a classy and put together feel that you may not get from other sites. It shows that this restaurant is expensive and elegant without being too in your face about it. This site contains a nice balance of images and text so as not to overwhelm the user. These elements also work together to provide a positive viewing experience. Overall this site has a clear hierarchy and layout making it in my opinion an easy to use and enjoyable site.
The Burgatory site is much different from the first in regards to style but everything else is pretty similar. While No. 9 Park was classy, Burgatory is more of a Trendy site. It too uses Hierarchical/Sequence architecture along with Global/Secondary Navigation. It is user friendly and easy to navigate just like the first site. The websites design and navigation makes it fun and interesting to navigate. You can tell from this site that this is a fun and trendy place to eat. While this site relies mainly on pictures to attract its audience there is enough supplemental text to get the point across. This site does not overwhelm or frustrate, so I would say overall that it is user friendly due to its clear hierarchy and layout.
Overall, I enjoyed both websites. They both were different yet both had similar setups. I think I enjoyed the No. 9 Park site more simply because it looked cleaner. It was not as in your face as Burgatory was and I think that it works to the sites advantage.
