Week 1 : Commercial Websites

inkd


- quite a user friendly contact page
- starting from the Sub-title, to the email (care@inkd.com) and the CEO's email, they're telling us that there are committed to taking our messages.



- Clean and clear home page, with a smart way of having promotions (countdown).


- Beautiful navigation, very clear on how it works. (titles, sub-titles, 'View All', and links)



- information is well presented on the same page (top: features ; right: help/contact ; left: categories ; bottom: customization)

Overall: A beautiful website with clean, simple, but smart design and navigation, making it easy to navigate and friendly on a one-to-one level, with the text almost 'speaking' to the user. Presents information well.

Mission Bicycle Company


- Good navigation design : the contact, feedback, and help are conveniently available in the same spot throughout the website.


- products


- the very handy 'help' feature which allows the user to take a snapshop of the page to communication easier.


- nice color-coded gallery

Overall : Website with good navigation that contributes to the 'feel' factor. Easily accessible 'contact', 'feedback' and 'help' helps boost the user-friendliness.

nestliving


- simple navigation that prioritizes in making space for the content.


- the rest of the navigation tucked in a corner. Again, main content in the middle is given priority.


- gallery


- well presented information, good use of bold and single line paragraphs.

Overall : A website that succeeds to puts content first, with its navigation simple yet functional and easy to find, as well as successfully making large amounts of information easy to read.

Team Excellence


- clear and appealing navigation (below the arrows), bold but effective way of presenting the information (the 'about us' is summarized in one big picture which also promotes their features)


- clear and beautiful way of presenting information


- presents information on a different page as deemed necessary, but at the same time subtly providing a link back to home.


- beautiful information presentation

Overall : A corporate website that is functional and information well-presented, yet still beautiful, original, and appeals to both common users and corporates (assumption)
