The reason that I chose this website was because even though it is in a different language, it easy really simple to navgate. I was initially drawn to the home page which contained a combination of moving visuals, pictures, and automatic videos. The baby in the bottom left of the home screen is actually in motion when you visit the site. Another aspect that I liked was the color scheme through out the entire website. The organization deals with children, and because of this I felt that the warm colors that were used were appropriate. One of my favorite things about the website overall was the way it allows you to interact with everything on the screen. The hexagons above all twist and reveal a bigger part of the image when you hover over them with your mouse. The website is very interactive and makes it fun to navigate through all of the pages because you never know what is going to happen next. Overall I feel as if this website gets the point across with easy to read type, encompasses a personality of its own, and keeps the viewer interested at all times.
I think it’s great that any viewer is able to navigate through this page regardless of what language he or she speaks. This simple test is a testament to their design. If someone cannot even read their tags and information yet can still continue through the website and understand their mission, then the designers clearly did a great job. The highly-interactive pages keeps the reader’s attention. It is so easy for web browsers to click out of pages that they quickly lose interest in. This website does a great job with keeping their audience entertained.
I like the use of the geometric shapes in this page’s designs. I think it adds great dimension to the site as compared to a lot of sites that rely on boxes and other linear designs. The fact that I can navigate the page easily and not understand the language is fantastic. I do like interactive web pages, I don’t like websites that seem to be over the top with their animations and interactions, but this website doesn’t do that. Great, great job.
