Problematic Websites
This business's website has an idea of what they want as a brand name, but they added all of their ideas on the first page. They are not organized which makes potential problems for visitors. Like mentioned in the lecture, a good website is well C.R.A.P.H.T.E.D. Some of the three main problems that Gates and Fences is lacking of is typography, proximity and alignment.
If this website were to minimize their typography, especially on their main page, it would help with visitors to not be overloaded with information. They should consider in drop down menus for all of their type of gates. The proximity of all the writing with the pictures, makes it look jumbled. If they were able to add the caption's of the pictures with a scroll over caption, it would help with the layout of the website. The alignment of the pictures, and the information are not well aligned to flow better with each other.
While examining this business's website, I found it very hard to differentiate what this business is about.When I first clicked on this profile I thought it was a fake website that would steal my information. The website even contains Ads on the right with eerie testimonies. Using C.R.A.P.H.T.E.D, we are able to see that the three main problem with Jamilin is the concept, hierarchy and ease of use.
The website contains many concepts. This is a problem for a viewer because it would confuse them with the message you are trying to cast. Focusing on a concept for the page will help with the message of the business. In the website there is multiple items that is trying to get the visitors attention. A viewer may miss the most important content of the page. The website needs a content that is most important to be the attention for the visitors. The ease of use of this page is very shambled and does not provide the viewer with ease when reading the first page. If the page were to add the logo to create brand awareness and create a better layout for the viewer to read from left to right.
Well Crafted Websites
This website has many attributes that make this a viewer friendly page. They created brand awareness with their logo on the left. Their logo is the first thing you see when you view the website. For an attention grabber, they added a large video that is a close up shot of someone getting a hair cut. This video helps build on with the message that they are a hair styling business. The business has 6 drop down slides with key words that most viewers would want to find when visiting the page. They divided their information into groups which helps with not having to scroll to find the information you need. One of their tabs on their home page has a contact us, which is really convenient for the viewers.
The design of the website is simple but, it made the branding of their business stand out. The aesthetics of the page fits well with their business brand. It is clean and organized just what I personally would like to see when looking for a hair stylist. The simplicity of the website does not make you feel overwhelmed. You are able to find all the information needed in a short time.
The National Park's website has a great first impression because they follow the C.R.A.P.H.T.E.D concept mentioned in the lecture perfectly. This website requires a lot of information to be presented to the viewers. They did a good job to be well organized with sorting the different groups of information. Their concept follows their idea of teaching viewers about the National Parks and what they have to offer. The contrast of the page follows well throughout the website. Navigation around the page us user friendly. The designs are well thought out with pictures that are aligned
My first reaction of the website that it was well thought out. It felt like a pleasure for me to read and learn about the different National Parks. The design of the website is well thought out and has many features that help navigate though the many pages of information. Their logo is on the left of the page no matter what page you click on, this helps with the branding awareness. Every page's aesthetics for their particular information provides beautiful pictures of the particular park.
