    Likes - I love the colors and look and feel of the home page. Its different and feels very cohesive and interesting. - I like the way she incorporates images and words into her links, as opposed to just have a boring font link. - I like how she gives information on the right hand side about each of her designs. I think it gives a good look into all the work she puts into her designs. Dislikes - I think she could simplify her "about promise" section. I feel like condensing this section would make more people inclined to read it, because right now its a bit long. - I don't like how she has a seperate section for "other work". I think all her work should all be in the same section, because its hard to distinguish the two when you click on each one. They look the same. - I don't like how her contact and blog section are way on the right side of the page, because I think that these are one of the first things a person visiting the site looks for.

    Likes: 1) I appreciate the unique way of organizing works: "small works" etc 2) I like seeing his work up in exhibitions and just a photograph of it on its own. 3) Dislikes: 1) I don't like the title of his documents section. 2) I don't like how you navigate through your his work - too confusing. 3) Designing section is confusing as well.

    Likes: 1. theme is interesting. "Fresh Meat" -- but the imagery along with the text go together hand and hand. the "About" section explains the concept behind Fresh Meat- that it is the antithesis of stale- something a designer like Jonathan Patterson strives to be always. 2. in his contact section it shows his most recent tweets rom his twitter feed on the right panel as well as contact information on the left and a link to download his resume 3. background throughout website is dark, allowing the viewer to focus more on the pictures/windows of his portfolio 4. when you select a certain page within his links of the side panel, whatever page you were on last remains the page even if you select another section of his portfolio-- you don't have to scroll through all images to keep on the image you want to Dislikes: 1. wish there was a bigger picture in the home page of "Fresh Meat" -- hard to read the text on the sticker (although very clever, hard to read because it is too small of text) 2. would like to see a page with thumbnails of his work to more easily browse through his work

    Likes: 1. layout is creative and colorful-- mexican themed, opening page is mexican objects and clothes on a line--beautiful 2. comments section allows viewer to comment-- allowing criticism to go from viewer straight to artist 3. portfolio is filled with lots of photography, many subjects, bright and colorful, it's hard to get bored looking at such vibrant imagery 4. at the bottom of the page, while viewing his photos, there is a sheet of film negatives that allow you to browse through thumbnails of the photos and select certain ones instead of having to go through the entire batch Dislikes: 1. for such an awesome website, he doesn't have any english translations, which is not to say that every other language should also be translated into an english version, however, if I didn't know any Spanish- like many many people around the world, I would be completely confused. 2. no biography, who is he? 3. no way to contact artist unless the viewer leaves his/her contact information first 4. in the "Links" section there are links to what looks like 5 different artists' sites, however, all lead to one photostream of a flickr account 5. for not having a biography, I think it's a little ridiculous to have an "Awards" section

    Likes: 1. The "box" theme correlates with the name of the org. and is a nice visual showcasing element for photos. 2. Icons at the top of the page take you down to the specific client section you clicked on, since it's a very long page to scroll 3. "Back to top" option is helpful, since the page is very long. Dislikes: 1. The descriptions of each client/project take a while to load (at top of page), so it's hard to understand what's going on until you've scrolled down and realized the top is an index, by which time the descriptions have loaded..... 2. There is no way to see larger images--only the thumbnails that appear in the box theme. 3. I think there needs to be more information (like an About section) about the company, as well as more information about the clients/projects being shown.

    Likes: 1. Majority of the page is pictures/videos of current works 2. Hover on the left side of page - hides/reveals which section you're in, but always has the "home page" button as an option. A creative way of navigating through the site, while maximizing space for visuals. 3. Has an easy "Pause/Play" option for all videos. 4. Simple, clean graphics and colors are still made interesting by their level of interaction and composition. 5. The optional view option on the right (has thumbnail pictures for each sub page) - is something different. 6. Hovering to the Left hides/reveals (don't need to click and wait for loads) Dislikes: 1. In the portfolios section, the reel starts playing automatically, with music. 2. The left and right view options can be a little confusing - some people might not know that each side contains the same info/pages. 3. Every visual aid is pretty much a reel with music - gives viewer little control of what they see and when they see it.

    + project navigation on the left and project images on the right is simple and intuitive and project images are a great size. + Variation of media such as video with images creates an interactive feel + Project text on left is a good size and about the optimal amount (verging on the lengthy side however) - Navigation buttons to switch between different images in a project are not as intuitive and harder to find - Direct posting of project boards instead of individual images make site less engrossing - The web design is light on unique details, and therefore it is hard to get a sense of the personality of the artist from exploring the webpage (the about section is also very short)

    Pros: Eye-catching, immediately shows multiple styles, well made. Cons: difficult to get to "about" section, portfolio is not very well designed, too much extra stuff

    Likes: 1) Nice utilization of home page 2) Her artists statement is amazingly helpful for admirers. 3) Her photo essay is great on her work and her inspiration Dislikes: 1) It takes several steps to see a large image of an individual work - I wish it was a one click deal. 2) Once clicking on images there is a lot of text involved - I wish it was mostly images. 3) Unsure why appearance section is under contacts.

    Likes: 1) Nice large photos 2) Great information about each works materials and dimensions. 3) News feed is nice to keep track of her work. Dislikes: 1) I wish there was a language choice section rather in both languages. Makes the page look busy. 2) Home buttons move from side to top - hard to keep track of and move backwards. 3) Biography is more like a resume, I wish it was more informative about her and her work.

    Good: 1. The buttons and navigation style is cartoony and interesting, which gives a feel for this guy's personal aesthetic in his work. 2. After clicking a tab (for medium of work), there's a visible list of the content on that page that is shown on the left. 3. There's buttons on left content bar to navigate through pages, but also at the top to navigate through sub-sections of the content (e.g. multiple ads for a single ad campaign). Bad: 1. The content info at the top of his page uses a font that I don't think matches his illustrated/stylized font. It only sticks out because it's the only area of the page that uses different font. 2. After clicking on a link from his home page, you can't get back onto the intro page unless you shorten/modify the URL. 3. When the content list on the left side of the page contains many things, it's annoying to have to scroll to find the last page you viewed after clicking on a single piece.

    Likes: 1. Pages showing art use the artwork as their background, which is attractive 2. Description of art is clear and out in the open--not hard to find, and readable 3. There are two thumbnail options to click on: to view the full piece of art, and to view a zoomed-in photo (nice to be able to see detail) Dislikes: 1. Trajan font is overused, and the rest of the fonts don't work very well together... 2. The links in the "artists" section don't lead anywhere... 3. Navigation between artwork pages is confusing--doesn't give much direction.

    Likes- This is a really great portfolio, even though his sketches of people look like Sasquatch. The menu bar and navigation are two of my favorite pieces to this site. The menu bar is to the left and always open. Creative, and simple icons exist for each project and when you place the cursor over the icons a short written explanation pops up. The menu bar is also very well organized, with all the important sections existing right there. Once you click on a project there is a series of image icons to click on, and a written explanation at the bottom of each image. Dislikes- The only part I didn't like was the resume portion. When I clicked on the icon it took me to a download screen. I don't want to download the resume yet, I want to see it first. Under his contact icon the resume exists, so he just made up for that one mistake. Nice work Josh. You might get a call back. A

    Likes - Love the simplicity of the homepage, and the slideshow of pictures - I like how he organizes his wedding galleries by using the couples names, instead of just mashing all his wedding photography together under one gallery. - I love the navigation through the gallery pictures themselves, and how you can have them in a contact sheet, or a slide show, or a mini slideshow. Dislikes - I hate when websites have unnecessary sounds, and I think the clicky sound that occurs when the mouse goes over each link is irritating. - I think the way he labels his links and the organization is confusing and unclear. He gives appropriate titles to his gallery sections, but then when you get to the sublinks, you sometimes don't get a clear understanding of what the gallery you are clicking on is going to be of. - I think the link titled "hello and good day" is pointless and I don't really understand why it is there.

    Likes: - I like how the landing page is uniform in the colors and link pictures. It was also nice and simple. - I like how she organizes her galleries by color. I think it's an interesting way to do it and sets her apart from other websites I've seen. - I love how she uses very basic colors and fonts, because her work has such vibrant colors that it allows them to really pop and stand out. Dislikes: - It took FOREVER to load. Even though it had a progress bar, I was getting impatient. - I don't like how the photographs that represent the sections of the gallery cut up into the navigation links. I think its distracting and looks messy. - On her contact page, her contact form cuts off on the very bottom. I think maybe the whole site was having an issue with sizing.

    Likes: - Nice landing page. I think she kept it clean and simple and gives just the right amount of introductory information. - The loading bar is clean and understandable. - I like how her About Me page is simple, and doesn't have a huge essay explaining her life and past work. It makes her more relatable, which I think is hugely important when working with seniors. It's so draining when you click on an About Me for an artist and have to read a huge piece to find out who they are. - I like the way the colors change and menus pop up to make the whole thing super easy to navigate. It shows clearly how to get back and forth from different areas of the page. - I LOVE how she has a contact form right on her contact page. It eliminates the errors that can happen from copying and pasting an email address, etc. Dislikes -One thing I don't like is that when you click on the Fashion section, it takes you to a portion of her blog instead of a seperate page, and feels like updated. I would like to be taken to a page that shows a more cohesive collection of her fashion work, rather then having to click through blog posts. - Her senior website only has one image on the homepage. I would like to see a slideshow going through images on the homepage. - I think she needs more images in her senior galleries. She only has about 10 in each one, and I feel like its better to have around 20 to get a well rounded view of style. - Her logo at the top cuts into the faces of some of the people in her images, and completely takes the attention off of the image. - When you move the mouse off of what you have selected to look at, it disappears, which does make the navigation a little confusing.

Site Clinic: Easy to Navigate Equals Easy To Buy - 0 views

  • Navigation: Which one do I use and where in the world do I start?Research shows that confusing navigation is the number one way to lose customers. If people have a hard time finding their way around your website, they're just going to give up and leave. And when you have great products that really sell themselves like Brainwaves does, you don't want your navigation to get in the way of a sale. When you enter on the Brainwaves homepage, there are three different ways to navigate the site. There is a global horizontal bar organized by age group. There's a global vertical bar that's not particularly organized at all and mixes functional (shop by price, age) with topical. And there's another featured section in the middle that is also organized by topic, some of which are in the left sidebar and some that aren't. The housekeeping links such as about us and contact are buried in the footer. While they need to be there, they also need to be more prominent "above the fold" (visible without having to scroll).With the variety of toys for sale on Brainwaves, I like the idea of having two sets of navigation: one for age and one for toy category. It seems sensible that people would use one of those two systems to browse. However, they should be kept entirely separate from each other. Research also shows that users scan web pages, and won't bother to look at lists with more than 5-7 links. If you have more than that, break them up into categories and subcategories that are logical and easy to scan. Always keep your customers in mind; organize your navigation in a way that makes sense to them, call each link what they would call it ("educational toys" takes visitors to the home page, so call it "home"!), and make it easy to scan and browse. If you aren't sure if your organization or labeling (words in the links) make sense to your customers, test it! Find a friend who is in your target market and ask his/her opinion.

    I like the blog feature as it creates a more personal addition to the site. I like how there are links to other companies he's worked with. I also like how it provided an easily facilitated way to contact him I didn't like how there was a home page which didn't really have anything on it. It had images of work but those are all in the projects section as well. I didn't like waiting for images and the site to load as well as having to search for the tabs to the categories as they kept moving around.
