What does it look like?
Clean and sophisticated. It uses a clear grid, with everything spaced out, the main information section is the largest section to the design, this is a good point as the website is used for advertising and selling their product and the grid they have used makes it user friendly, it uses a simple colour pallette (mainly grey and white). I like this website as it does what it has to, when you enter it, it looks like a business website and that is what it is.
Is it easy to use?
I think that it is fairly easy to use but i think to a novice computer user, it might prove more diffcult for them to use as there is a lot of information and they would probably get lost quite quick. As the website uses pretty much the same template through out it, it would beome easy for them to get used to it. The links are a good size and easy to see as soon as you enter the page, this is a strong point as i think that once a user knows where the links are they sort of feel safe of where to go.
How relevent is the content of the site?
The website consists of the different products and services that apple provide.
How clearly is the content organised?
As i have already mentioned, the grid, this provides a way of seperating the content of the website making it easier for the reader to obtain and read. Everything is seperated by subheading and different colour bars behind them to make it more obvious that each of the different parts of information are different.
Sony.
What does it look like?
I didn't like this website as much as i did the apple site. Althought the design is comfortable to use, i found the apple website more appealing tho te eye. It uses a simple colour pallete of grey and blue which again is strong as it is simple and easy to look at. The links are clear and easy to find and again like with apple, the information is seperated under seperate headings. I did like the flash used on the site too.
How easy is it to use?
I found it easy to use, and could easily find items i was looking for.
How relevent is the content of the site?
As with Apple, Sony advertises the different products and services that Sony have to offer.
How clearly is the content organised?
I think that the content is organised pretty well, similar to Apple they use the sub headings to seperate the different information. I didn't find myself getting confused or lost.
IDEO.
What does it look like?
It looks very funky and bright. The designers have used an interesting approach by displaying work that they have created previous for clients on the initial design template. I didn't get on with this though, I found it to be quite an eye sore. I do like the way they have designed the display of the links at the bottom of the page but i dont like where there placed.
How easy is it to use?
I really didn't get on with ths site, i found that i got confused a lot with it, the links are at the very bottom of the page which i think is a bad point as the users have to look for them, then when i clicked on the links, the pages that they sent me to were completely different, at one point i wernt sure if i was still on the same website.
How relevent is the content of the site?
All of the information included is about this particular design company.
All of the information included is about this particular design company.
How clearly is the content organised?
Not very well at all, in my opinion everything seems to be a bit all over the place.
The NOW.
What does it look like?
I think it looks a bit boring and bland, it lacks the effect to pull me in and make me want to get to learn how to use it. I think one thing that was used on the VLP was images to spice it up a bit wereas there isnt any on the NOW.
How easy is it to use?
I haven't come across any problems when using the website such as difficulty in navigating around. At the end of the day the site is there to serve a purpose for us students and i htink it does a good job of this even if it is a bit plain.
How relevent is the content of the site?
All content displayed is relevent to us students, It displays all of the information that we require to know. It also displays useful resources that could be helpful to us. It also included a very interesting tool which was the library search engine, I think i will find this extremely helpful.
How well is the content organised?
It is organised well, usig a simpliar approach again to the Apple and Sony websites, it uses sub sections, which seperate all of the information sections, making it easier to navigate around.
