The Girly Boutique

I came across this The Girly Boutique website:

I like the design of the page, not because it is pink in colour but it looks simple and neat as the designer used tables to design it. The designer used a good colour combination to design the website, seeing that the title is ‘The Girly Boutique’ it uses Pink as its theme colour. However i noticed that a lot of the links especially the main links on the top banner are dead links, meaning that when you click it nothing happen. The only few links which is working is ’2 Girls Design’, ‘Simple Rules’, another two links below it and all the links on the lower right corner of the website. Even when i click the few links above, it only shows me to more blank websites.

Hence i learn here that when i create the website, i should be careful of the links that i put inside my website, i should make sure that the links that i put links to website which is still running. Viewers will feel frustrated and would not like your web page when you have dead links which lead them to nowhere.

Dokimos

One of the website sample which Mark showed us is Dokimos:

As a Christian i think it is nice of people to create a website solely to proclaim God’s word, however i think that the website would not be inviting for people to read or find out more about it as the way the website is design is not enticing enough to retain people’s attention. With the rainbow colour as the background, making the website look too colourful, furthermore i find my eye keep reverting to the sun in the middle of the website. While i scroll down the website i found this:

An all coloured small banner in the middle saying that ‘Accept Jesus Forever and Forgive’. I find myself having a hard time reading the words below as my eyes keep attracted to the flashy banner sign above. The more i look at the flashy banner the more my eyes ace and distract me from reading other parts of the website.

I learn here that we should stick with one continuous background colour and not try to put in all my favourite colours in it as it will make it too colorful. Sometimes some white is good, take for example Apple’s website.

It uses White as the background and stick to it for all its pages, making it look neat and tidy. I guess we should also try to keep it simple and not overdo it with multi different colour.

Girly Website

I came across a website which is title ‘Welcome To My Girly Website‘:

When i visited this web page, i find that it is very un-proportionate as there are  a lot of space around and the information was not well organised even though she used tables to design it. The whole website has black background with white dot which is suppose to be stars flying pass; i figure that it is suppose to be out of space. with a shiny dot on the corner left next to the links button which has a welcome word which you cannot click on. When you click on the welcome page:

It still have the black background but without the stars flying pass, however she has two butterflies flying around her webpage. I find the content of this page very childish eventhough she tries to be creative by explaning what she like to do and arrange the start of every line with the alphebets of the word ‘welcome’.

What i learn in this webpage is that you have to organised your information and the way you design the webpage as if it is not nicely organised, it can look very unporpotionate. Furthrmore, you have to be carefuly with the content of your webpage as firstly you should not write something which will offend people as it will get you into trouble and you should write something that shows a little bit of professionalism. As i think the reason of this girl Carol creating her site to meet people or entice people to meet her, hence the content of her webpage should reflect her personality and i think she did it.

Looney Tunes

One of the animated cartoon website which i visited is my favourite childhood carton – Looney Tunes.

This is a well organised website which is arranged using tables and it is easy for you to get information or links which you want in a glance. They also uses Adobe Flash Player 9 to create the animated clip at the top part of the website, it is also design in a way that when people visit the web page their eyes will be drawn to the clip. However i also sometimes cant help but noticed that my eyes are also drawn to the pink advert on the right of the website, i guess it is design in a way that they also would want people to look at the advert on the side of the web page.

The negative side of this web page is that it is best viewed only in Internet Explorer as when you view the web page in Mozilla Firefox, it will show some missing pug-ins which is not available for you to install.

I noticed also when we click on the kids section, there is a change of background colour to orange:

Than when you click on the Looney Stars, the background colour changes to blue:

What i learn from this page is that I’ll have to double check and make sure that my web page is viewable in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox so that viewers will not have problems viewing. There are also a change of background colours in different pages of the website just like Bebop Jeans hence i will also use different background colours for different pages of my website.
