Peer Workshop/ Final Website Redesign

In class on Tuesday we had our peer workshop. We met with another group to discuss the older website and the changes we made. The other group did an Indian restaurant right here on campus. The website before was awful! There was no alignment and the description of the restaurant was overlaying the website frame and it looked extremely messy. After the group redesigned the site, it looked so much better. They should definitely think about sharing their design with the restaurant owners.

My group showed the current website A Royal Tan has to the other group members and they immediately were put off by the messy and chaotic website design. We then showed them our redesign and they loved it. They said it was structured and simple, yet effective. The only thing we really needed to change was the wording of one of our links. We changed "Skin Type" to "New Customers." This link had the skin type descriptions as well as the coupon from the homepage. The homepage was looking a bit empty now that I moved the coupon, so I added a picture of a model who had a beautifully natural tan. I think it brought personality to the website proving that their equipment really does work. There wasn't too much else that we changed about our redesign. We spent a lot of time perfecting this redesign and proving that this website can be effective if designed properly.
