Research Website No.2

Name of Website: Giant Hypermarket

Evaluation
The layout of this website is very mesy and there is a scrolling navigation bar which makes browsers feel irritating. Since the title is Giant Hypermarket, naturally browsers will expect to see content and navigation to be related to the hypermarket. However it turns out to be only one page about hypermarket and the rest is other shops in Tampines zone. Having too many navigation bars making the page looks very not united and also a sore to the eyes. However, having an achor link from the bottom to the top is a good idea. It prevents browsers from strolling a long page of content just to reach the top page.

How can I apply to my project?
I can refrain from having too many navigation bars in my webpage. One navigation bar and dropdown menus will be good enough and will make the pages more neater instead of floating here and there.

Research Website No. 1

Name of Website: Settler's Cafe Singapore

Evaluation
This website has an interesting layout and attractive colour combination which is likely to attract a wide age group of youngsters. However, since this website is about a board games cafe, the banner is not relevant to what the website is about as the banner has only one piece of board games pawn and does not show the ambience of cafe. Also, the access time to load the web page is very long due to the size of the banner which has animation and sounds on the navigation bar. Having the click sounds to keep on repeat can be very irritating to browsers. There is a row of white spaces between the two navigation bars and main content.

How can I apply to my project?
This website allows me to know which type of layout and colour combination will attracts more people to browse my webpage. I can try not to use animation for my banner so that the time taken to download the web page will be faster. It also helps me to ensure that my content will be relevant to the topic of my web page.
