1. Text was a bit small2. On “About” page the links to sites at the top were too small to see what they were
3. Couldn’t find a contact phone number on contact page. There was no email address either, just a form to fill in and submit
http://apple.com – Great website
1. Nice landing page (simple)2. Navigation page at top very simple and clearly states all their products
3. Whole website is very clean and appealing. It was simple yet very dymanic. Colorful with lots of pictures 4. Lots of ways to get support (manuals, videos, tech specs, downloads, communities)
5. Phone numbers to contact very easy to access 6. Brand is carried throughout whole website
http://www.toyota.com- Great website
1. Great design (simple, not too much words, nice colorful pictures)2. Easy to navigate
3. Great feature to allow you to build a car (pick color, type, features, models, extras)
4. Clear ways to access support and social media
Apple and Toyota were the two I chose as the best websites as well. They were laid out well and were very easy to navigate. The branding was visible throughout the website, no matter how many clicks into the site you are. I'm curious how people would rate the MiraCosta website.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I think that it is rather visually organized, but I found when I was initially trying to use it, I became extremely frustrated and just called the school directly.
DeleteI like how you included if they had social media or not. Great tie into last week's lesson. It seems like the sites that have simple and very efficient designs are the best (Apple and Toyota) were also my top choices.
ReplyDeleteGood call on looking for the call-to-actions!
ReplyDeleteReading every ones blogs today - it is pretty evident we like clean and crisp looking websites. I too thought Apple and Toyota were top notch with their web design and branding - Ford does a good job too. The interactivity with the build your car feature is pretty awesome!!!
