Mobile Website

In this post I’ll be looking at the 6 main website of UK mobile Company – Virgin, T-Mobile, Orange, My3, Vodafone and O2. I’ll be comparing the websites and discussing about it.

Theme colour

I noticed that most of these websites have their own theme colour which is:

For 3, it seems like the theme colour for it is white, purple and green.

For o2, it is a distinctive blue which is its theme colour just like its logo.

Orange like its name, the theme colour is orange

T- Mobile is pink

Virgin is red

While for Vodafone its theme colour is also red but it mix in with a lot of other colours like turquoise blue and light blue for a lot of its title banner,   while there are some green and purple for other two category banner on the right.

Clutters and messiness

All of the websites main page seem to be nicely organised in tables/columns, however there are alot of information and links which people can click thru-out the page. I can be a little cluttered looking as there are a lot of information on it. However for 3 Mobile’s website, they try to put as little information or choises of links as possible and design all those with a white background. This will make it look neat and not so cluttered with things.

Start up Animation

All of these webpage do not really have a start-up animation before it reaches the main front page of the website other than 3 Website.

Before you reach the 3 main page, it will have a slight introduction whereby different coloured smoke will float around the no 3 in the page, it will aslo change color from yellow, to blue to green. At that page it has 3 box of links for you to choose, underneath the number 3; you can also choose the country you are from.

What i learn from all these websites that it is importnat for you to use a table or column to categrise your website to different segement of information as it will be easy for people to visit the relevent links which they want to look at. the tables/columns also helps to organise your website and make it look neat and not so messy. However that also doesnt mean that you can clog up the website with alot of information and words or not it will be a put off to viewers.
