Week four: Part one

The first website I visited was "Jami Lin's Passions" and the first thing I noticed was how cluttered the page was. My eyes seemed to wonder everywhere searching for something important to focus on. As my eyes wondered about the page, i noticed that there didn't seem to be a logo or any consistency on page. Even after spending a minute or so looking at the page, i still had trouble trying to figure out exactly what the webpage was for. Among the many things offered on the page, ironically, fung shui (arranging things in a specific way to create energy) consulting is offered.
The second page I viewed was the "MGBD Parts" page. This page was slightly more organized than Jami Lins page but it was still lacking organization. The alignment seemed to be off and as i looked at the page, it made my eyes wonder and the pictures around the text pulled me away from the information. Although the text they chose didn't seem like a bad choice, placing it on top of photos made it very difficult to read. The website was surprisingly fairly easy to navigate but as i did, i noticed that it lacked consistency. Many of the links were missing the logo or had a completely different look altogether.
After checking out the first two websites, I knew without a doubt that the apple and Toyota pages would be very well put together and aesthetically pleasing. I checked out the Apple page next and without surprise, it was very well designed, easy to navigate and very consistent. The apple logo is consistently at the top of every page and directly next to it has all the navigation links. The links are exactly what you'd expect and all the links stay fairly consistent in design. They used bold text and large photos to show off their new products and as you scroll down the page, you see the other products that aren't quite as new but still equally expensive.
Again, without surprise, the Toyota page was well put together and easy to navigate. There is a little more going on than the Apple page but after looking around for just a few seconds, you can easily navigate yourself around the page. Every link you click on has the same consistent layout with the Toyota logo at the top and the navigation links directly next to it. All the text is easy to read with the most important information being in bold at the top with large eye catching photos.
As i figured, multibillion dollar companies would have a very well designed and functioning website that leaves you satisfied and able to find exactly what you were looking for.
