In the world today it is extremely important for companies to have sleek websites. With technology increasing one of the most important aspects is for technology to be user friendly. That applies to phones, computers, websites, etc. For the purposes of this smackdown I will take website trends from one of the Livebinder articlewe read for class.
The first trend I will use is responsive design. It will be clear after watching my smackdown that one of the websites has a horribly simple design that is not sleek and is not fluid and the other has a more modern feel to it. Another trend is a simple one but some websites do not even utilize it; the trend is striking colors. The bad website sticks to one color scheme for every page, (orange and black). The good website has photos of multiple new age electronic devices in the background which gives it a modern feel. The last trend I'll discuss is one that I always look for in a website and that is the amount of information on a page. Instead of loading a page with paragraphs of information a website should allow you to browse through a page almost like a table of contents in a book. You can then click on which section of the website you want to explore at ease.

Hi Dave,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your presentation in comparing Rextopia and Sagapixel as well as using a checklist to support your reasonings. The bad website had too many paragraphs to read making it difficult to navigate through and find the information needed. Its design of bright orange and white with less pictures/viewpoints made it less appealing. On the other hand, Sagapixel has a very fresh, modern design with striking, contrasting colors and pictures. Its website looks so easy to use and read through while including internal links to navigate through. Thanks for sharing this!
