Originally, we chose http://www.troutlakecabins.com/ as our website redesign and even though there are definitely changes we could make to the website, this website needed more help: http://www.aroyaltan.com/index.html. The website CLEARLY displays everything we discussed in class NOT to have a website look like. It is awful! There is no structure, too chaotic, and the contrast is completely off. With this website we will be able to demonstrate what we have learned in a more profound and effective way.
We split the website up so each person in our group is reconstructing a different page. The navigation for this website is too long, so we are combining some of the links and information to clean it up. I am working on the homepage where you have a preEntry page, "click to enter" then you can access the actual website. You should NOT have to do this for a website! I am combining the links: "Homepage", "Our Boutique", and "Coupons" to create a well-organized environment for this website. I am taking down many of the unnecessary pictures that clutter the webpage. I will use different colors to add an effective and professional appeal to the website. Consistency needs to be a priority for this website when using color, font, and pictures. There is way too much going on that the importance of the website is lost. The font is inconsistent and overwhelming and needs to be gentle on the eye or people aren't going to look the website. We have a lot to redesign, but I know we can make it look much better.
Google sites is one option for redesigning a website. We will try to use this, but my group members or myself are not familiar with this program and we don't want to waste time trying to figure it out if it's confusing. We have decided to use power point to display the changes we make to this website. We are meeting this weekend to further discuss our opinions for this website.
