I really love this website design. The darkness of the background contrasts excellently with the white and gold colors used for the type. I also really like the way the overhead lights in the background frame the type on the page. It looks as though the lighting comes from the tabs at the top and then as it shines down and widens its scope of light, the type on the rest of the page fills up that lightened space. I also approve of the way the picture is blurred in the background; it allows the viewers eye to be focused on the clear type of the page.

I find the visual hierarchy on this website design to be very effective. My eye naturally focuses first on the largest size type of the most important word, “mediaboom.”The san-serif typeface is easily readable, and layout of the type is playful and interesting. The links with the visuals at the bottom of the page do a great job of capturing my attention. The visuals allude to the information that will be described on the different pages, and they are neatly organized at the bottom of the page. Overall, I feel this website design is organized and visually appealing.

I absolutely love this website design. It’s clean, appetizing and easy to navigate. The name of the restaurant, Niko’s Greek Taverna, is right there in the top corner. Then, on the navigation bar, there lists home, menu, wine, social and press. These are all links that customers want to have access to before dining at the restaurant. Next, there is a picture flow; the screenshot is stuck on the salad photo, but there are other photos of a fish dish and people happily dining. In addition, on the home page there is a Facebook section, which allows people to “Like” the page right there and even see how many other people “Liked” the page as well. Furthermore, there is the restaurant address and hours of operation, which is super important because it is a common reason why people go to website pages in the first place. Lastly, it does not show on the screenshot here, but there are links to Niko’s Greek Taverna’s Facebook, Twitter and RSS pages.

I am very biased in this post, as my parents work here, but whatever. I like Accenture’s website design primarily because of the scrolling visuals that are always present on their homepage – with the clients that they represent and their logo, the accent mark (ahem, hence ACCENTure), moving forward, etc. The links to different aspects of the website are clearly defined, and contrast with the colors of the backgrounds they are on. Red is a warm color, thus standing out to whoever is viewing the page. Also, at the bottom of the screen, there are short snippets of information as the “latest news” section of the homepage. Not included is the very bottom of the website, which includes social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, an RSS feed, podcasts, blogs, and much more. It’s a very clean design, emphasizing the modern and advanced nature of the services one could get by working with Accenture.
