Two of the following websites that I thought were poorly designed were: Craigslist and Atari Best Electronics. For Craigslist, there was just too much information on one page for individuals. Hardly any color was brought upon besides blue and white on the page. As well as, no images when you first go to the website. The only images listed, are the products being sold. I would describe the homage as looking at a dictionary, while clicking on a specific product list to be my email inbox.
Atari Best Electronics had too many words on one page with the font being way too big. It reminded me of the old advertisement flyers posted around cities. The size of font and amount of words takes away from actually seeing the products being sold. Even the images included were smaller than the description placed.
However, I thought Apple and Toyota's website were well designed. Both were very aligned and easy for customers to navigate to certain products. Color, images, font size, and the set up as a whole was very pleasing. There isn't anything negative to say about these two websites.
After viewing each website and being mindful of the lecture, I came to realization that how you develop your website can have an impact on others eyes. From seeing poor to be well designed websites, there's a huge difference. I learned that font size, color, images, and placement plays a big role. It can either grab the customers attention or lose it.
Blogs I commented on: Spencer Clark, Nicole Lozano, and Marcus Visconti
Hi Tawni, I chose the Atari website as well. I was going to choose Craiglist as well but they were both very similar I chose something else. But I also agreed that the font was way too big, it made the homepage way too long and everyone knows that they wouldn't go through all that writing.
ReplyDeleteHi Davina. For real! Atari was too heavy on the font and writing lol:)
