Ranking of Websites 0-5 Stars
Paradise Drinking Water- 2/5
This website appears very boring, it doesn’t have anything ordinary in it just a white website with hints of blue here and there with some old-fashioned cheesy pictures of people smiling which makes her user experience next to none. Aside from this, the website is interactive and where words are underlined it is clear that these are links to other parts of the website which makes it easier to navigate around, it also has the contact information in bold at the top making it easy to see, it shows they have at least thought of the use of hierarchy in this website.
Headhunter Hairstyling- 4/5
This website was really easy to navigate around and if you did want to know something about this website eg the prices you would be able to find it in seconds. They have kept their homepage both minimalistic but also kept it stylish with the moving image in between the page of their building and the colour theming in the page to match the website, something like this makes you trust the website more as it appears less sketchy, unlike the Paradise Drinking Water. Something I would change about this website is the quality of the photos that they use, the website includes a gallery where there are pictures of past clients, the idea is great as it shows future clients coming to the website the abilities of the hairdressers, however, the quality of the photos makes part of the website look a bit tackier. As well as this I would also experiment with the layout of these images, using different sized images and presenting them differently instead of the same size grid layout they have used.
