first assignment

Name of website: Dolliecrave
URL of Website: http://www.dolliecrave.com/


Evaluation
The website focused on graphic pictures and animated graphics. The colour combination of different bright colours make the website looks more attractive for users. Furthermore, the headers not only make it more organized for users to search better, the different colours are eye-catching. From one look of the website, the users of this website are for girls who want to make use of graphic pictures to make their own websites, such as friendster, myspace to look striking and nice-looking. However, the website could be improved by using flash and fun animations when mouse-over the navigations.
Ratings: 7/10

How does this apply to you website?
I need to use a good colour combination so that it attracts attention from the user to further their search. I need to use animations to make the website less dull.

Name of Website: Forever Friends official Website

Evaluation
This is an official website for Forever Friends. One good thing is it uses simple colour combination but it doesn't look plain because the whole theme is actually simplicity instead of bright colours. The color text of the website is black and violet. It uses 2 colours which doesn't make it look too complicated and vibrant. The font used is handwritten which looks more outstanding and totally fits into the theme of the website. Simple animation is used, like the spinning flower at the center of the website which outstands the title of the website. When viewing pictures at gallery, the pictures has the gradient swipe effect when a picture is being changed, this is different when using just HTML.

How does this apply to you website?
As the user is browsing the website, he/she will not feel bored with the CSS, instead of the dull HTML. Using simple colours and font type can also enhance the readability of the user. Using little pictures representing the title header make the website look interesting.
