My opinion:
Took me some time to find this website, really liked it! "http://qubestudio.com/". First thing for me that is really important is definitely the layout. If the layout is poorly designed on a website it can really frustrate the user and up their stress levels... This is something that always gets me annoyed as a lot of the time I can never find what is needed in 10 seconds or less. A well designed website will:
- Enable the user to find what is needed in three clicks or less.
- Ensure that the user immediately knows what the website is for.
- Ensure the client can contact the firm with ease.
- Ensure the layout is not confusing and repetitive (in terms of information)
These what I think all websites should implement. However things that determine wether or not the user will like the website include:
- The design
- The colors incorporated
- The effects
I really liked this next website because as you drag your mouse over menu it brightens up and clears the picture up. It also comes up with a little text box to ensure you know what each button/link does.
The thing I like most about this website is the use of cubes and squares to implement a smooth and futuristic look to it. It's user friendly, it's organized, it's easy on the eyes. It's my favorite web design. Even the choice of arrangement in photos in the gallery looks awesome...
An interesting website Sami, would have been good if I could have hyperlinked to it rather than have to copy and paste the web address from you blog (REMEMBER: Always hyperlink when possible).
ReplyDeleteI would be interested to know what programming language they used to create this site, is there any Flash used? Maybe you could research this and find out.
I like how you have added your own criteria for stating what a good website will do e.g. Ensure the client can contact the firm with ease.
I actually didn't like how the website allowed me to contact them; when I clicked on their contact links it tried to open up my MS Outlook (personally I dislike this setting).
Overall a good evaluation Sami, well done!
