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.
