WK 3: website analysis homework

Analysing website for WK3 homework:
Amrita: Kowtow website (retail: clothing)

The site is very minimalist which reflects the clothing brand; Kowtow sells sustainable wardrobe staples. Everything is laid out in a fairly structured manner, fitting to a clear grid, with each photo being given plenty of space. The text in comparison to each image is much smaller, giving the photos even more space to breathe. All of the colour comes through in the photographs, allowing the viewer to focus all of their attention on how the actual products work. 



Small details add more interest to this simple website. For example, when you reach the top of the page from scrolling up the logo gets bigger before going back to normal size. When scrolling over each navigation title the below bar extends with more detail, with each title again being neatly separated out in a clear grid. The amount of detail in the navigation site, although simple, makes it very easy to navigate the website. 




When scrolling over an image of a model wearing Kowtow clothing, another image showing a different pose in the same outfit is shown. 




When searching for clothing, you are given the option to view the clothes on a model or on their own. There are also added search options to refine what you are looking for - e.g colour, or size.

Wellington City Council website: information
I really love this website because of the way it stores so much information in a neat and easy to navigate way. The council has so much information to get across to the public and I feel like this is organised in a way that is easy to get around.

The website also has consistency and feels very "Wellington" throughout it does a great job of showcasing the city and its events. The news events section is really well done and easy to navigate.

The four-column grid runs throughout the website and keeps the structure strong. The text also works really well together with larger headings and the information being a lot smaller.
