Feedback

The following feedback were from trusted colleagues in my graphic design class.

Nice, clean layout. Unnecessary Whitespace on top of the opening image. Make the contact link a text-based page. Lovely motion design. Good content.

Overall the feeling is very light and modern which fits the theme well. Visually I like the background, the placement of the logo and navigation bar. The grey box might have better heirarchy on the right instead of the left, but the large animated headers do help draw attention to the main box of content.

I would say in general the design is looking really great. It is clean and simple, yet inviting. It speaks of environmentalism. A few things I would fix, though. On the landing page, I would give a little more information about the site. Is it for a company?Iis it just informational? is it an organization?

1. Is there suppose to be sound on the first page? I wanted to double check because there is a volume button and even with my speakers turned all the way up, I couldn't hear anything.

2. Can the animated text look sharper? Right now it is a little pixelated and degrades the sophistication of the rest of the site.

3. I think the contact page should actually present the e-mail adresses instead of just opening up the computers e-mailing program. I don't use mine on my mac, so I hate when it websites automatically open "mail" instead of giving me another option to copy and paste the e-mail address into my gmail.

4. On the solar panel page, it may be nice to move the key closer to the actual diagram so people automatically know the numbers associate with that. Maybe i am just slow, but i read the key first and nothing quite came together till Iscrolled down a bit to see the whole diagram.

I think that the design of the site is clean and easy to navigate – the navigation bar at the top is intuitive and interactive. I like the use of color to indicate the history of your navigation (the visited state of the links). The flash animation of the page titles is nice, but maybe a little too much. It seems like it takes a long time to load the page.

 

The colors for the logo and the rest of the site are very appropriate, and avoid being cheesy. The information is presented in an interesting way, and makes the subject material inviting. The “creative alternatives” section is hilarious – I love the solar cape.
