Week 4 Part 1

Discuss:
Choose two of the following websites
  • Identify at least three potential problems for visitors.
  • What could be improved on these websites and why would these improvements help?
http://www.roverp6cars.com/
When viewing Roverp6cars I was overwhelmed by the images and bold font. The aesthetic of the page
is quite messy even though they do clearly depict that they are in the automobile business it could be
done in a more clear and concise way. I noticed three things that could be improved on this web page.
The first, keeping the bold font to a minimal and only using it to emphasize important main points this
will improve the contrast. Another thing I noticed that can be improved is the web site does not use of
repetition, they chose to use a car image to guide you to more branches of their website just as bold.
The final aspect that can be used is the Ease of Use. This page would be so much better if it could be
read from left to right. I have a new found appreciation for websites that utilize "Ease of Use" it makes
it so much easier on the eyes.  
The above link to Jami Lin's web page has three main potential problems for visitors. The first being
the web page is not secure and from the first time opening the page it appears very busy and doesn't
draw attention to any specific message. The second thing that I noticed is the typo error's which do not
give a professional image for the page. An example is "I love, Love, LOVE helping you evolve and
raise you consciousness with.." The third problem is that the contact information is given the least
importance on the page, it is in the smallest print on the bottom of the page and takes you to a
different page to either call or email Jami. My overall impression of the page is that it is to provide
information and no direct product is being sold to visitors. Putting emphasis on the important aspects
of the page could help improve her business and keep readers engaged.
Choose an additional two of the following websites
  • Identify what they have done right.
  • How does design, aesthetics and branding impact your reaction to the websites?
Apple products set a standard for simple and sleek and their website reflects it perfectly. I love
the clean and stress free design of their web page. The Aesthetic is incredible and if I were to
ever have a company I would aim to provide the same type of feel for customers who visit my
web site. They design their website by always depicting the newest and greatest product as
the first thing you see when you open the page. The company strives to keep their customers
purchasing the latest additions and this choice of design definitely assists them in doing so.  
Toyota has a great reputation and their website like Apple is clean and concise. I am noticing
a trend here of putting the newest product as the first thing that you see. This design choice
keeps customers engaged, even people who already own a toyota and visit the site get to see
what's new. At first glance, the most bold button is "local specials" it isn't obnoxious but it sets
importance on what they are trying to get at. My reaction to this website is that I would
definitely purchase.
