Intriguing Website #10

http://www.interflora.co.uk/

This website uses a drop down menu to group together sub-categories and subjects. This is a good way of slimming down the face of the menu making it look tidier.

Intriguing Website #9

http://www.fischers-baslowhall.co.uk/

This website has a good use of colour, but leaves the background for the content white. This draws the attention of the eye and makes it easier to concentrate on the content of the page.

The website also uses the logo as a link back to the index page, which has also been seen in many of the other websites featured in this blog. I believe this is good practice as it is intuitive for the User to click on the logo to navigate back to the home page.

Intriguing Website #8

This website uses a Jello design to centre the page regardless of the screen it is being viewed on. Using this design makes the website pleasing to the eye, while being able to keep it at a fixed width keeping it easy to manage for the developer.

Intriguing Website #7

This website has an adaptable height which fits the page content which I believe gives the designer a lot of leeway when it comes to the amount of content the page will be able hold.

Intriguing Website #5

This website has used a very different way of displaying the menu, it is very unstructured and personally I find it to be less intuitive than the regular menu styles.

While I like unusual menu structures I do think that they need to be User friendly at the same time, so I do not think I will use this particular example in my own website.

Intriguing Website #4

This is a good example of having a non-typical banner; The logo and menu are a part of the banner but are also separate making it look more dynamic. I will try to incorporate this technique into my own website to make it look less grid-like and boring.
