Research: Website 3

3. Orange.com Website
http://www.orange.com/english/home.php



This is the screenshot for the website.
This is a website for a Communication and Entertainment company. As usual, after i do analysis i draft out the grid system for the website.




This website was well plan for their sub navigations.
Refer to the screenshot below. They use another way to present the buttons.




This website use spacing smartly as their layout reserve a big space for contents and also background. So that user would not feel not comfortable and very pack of words. As the graphic is in swf format it will slightly animate and make the website looks lively. The website was well plan for the typography use stick to the major colour orange which related to their company. They try to tone down the orange for the graphic in order to make those contents look more contrast. Imagine if the orange is too sharp, the images will become the focos point but not the info. From here i aware of use of the colour and image is very important as we need to know which is the main thing should be focos and which is the things that just use to enchant the main things.

As there are communication and entertaiment company, i think their website should have a very soft / nice background music, cause they play with a lot of spacing. Although the spacing make overall looks nice but i still feel like miss something there and i think if there is a soft bg music it will be nicer.

this website let me think of your orange ice interface design last term.XD

Before I see your comment, I think that orange is not eyecatching enough and make everything slightly merge.
But I still agree with what you said, so that people will focus more on the information they want to tell.

This website loads very fast too so it keeps the visitor on the level on patience all the time.

The logo on the top left is slightly too small, bigger will be nicer. The text inside the logo even smaller than the navigation text.

The fonts of the navigation still can be improved. They can just use the fonts of what they used for the interface or content part, it still looks consistent.
