Design Analysis Jody Bhamra Website: Charlevoix | Quebec | Le Miel des Grands Jardins (mielcharlevoix.com) Task 1: Design Use Critique When visiting Charlevoix website what stands out to me is the design of the website that its color make you want to pay attention to the images below. They are very informative about the Le Miel des Grands Jardin in Quebec. From showing its origin to prices and session information. Each feature of the site works as intended because when I click make a reservation it will prompt to sign up for a session. It has fast load times due using little effects and fancy stuff such as interactive elements you find in most websites like this. Their colors stand out and pop, so it is easy to read and not hard to navigate. These are good design features due to users wanting an easy experience when visiting a website, they never want an experience where they find it to be more complicated than it must be. The site itself a responsive UI when clicking the buttons. It functions quite well on browser such as explorer, edge, Firefox and Opera. For my first example of how this site functions when you first open the site you will find general info, their contact info, history of the event, shop, blog, local retailers, and finally helpful links to other local business in Quebec. Second example of being an effective website is complimentary colors that pop out like their brown, yellow, peach, and black help portray their site and makes clear to read and interact with I personally felt no strain when looking at the images and content of the site. Third example, its simplicity the design of the site is streamlined and has no issues loading a page or crashes when multi executions are active on the website. Final example of why this site functions well. It is compatible with all modern devices such as android, tablets, iPad, and iPhones. When visiting a site, it uses a phone version to make the site comfortability fit the device and makes a comfortable read, same can be said with tablets, this site works with all existing browsers and other existing console browser such as PlayStation, Xbox, and switch. Overall, I think that these help the website be a hub for info for what the company intends to be a bee touring site for Quebec’s wonderful sights. Test 2: Finding Flaws 1. Contact page needs overhaul A flaw is that the contact page needs an overhaul to make it easier for users type down their info. Minor flaw because it can be seen as an inconvenience, and this can be improved on. I recommend in contacts put the map on side and make it smaller to have greater focus on the location and area for users to see plus it will make typing down info easier and finally puts images on the side for users to click on and scroll on. 2. Resize the store images Second flaw with the site is that image displays your selected item are too big. Cosmetic flaw a slight change and this will fix the issue. Resize the image in the store to fit with the item and when users want to expand on the image, they can choose to click on it rather making it bigger so it will cause more hassle than not really. 3. Redesign the Blog Page Final flaw and the biggest flaw are the blog page because right now it looks very clunky for browsers not flexible for all application and it causes user to experience slowdowns when clicked on it. Major flaw this could be very detrimental for the user experience on the site. What I recommend that this blog needs major overhaul like creating news page I know little unintuitive you still have these nice articles with each submission. Just resize the images for an easier experience for the user. If they want to make a blog page just make it is user generated for questions, reviews, opinion, and update information about their company and it will help with the slowdown on browsers then as well users can use their google email to make users Picking their first and last name as the submissions. Users can post reviews using this redesign helps ensure users that they provide a fair opinion of their experience at the site. Each user can comment saying constructive input to ensure either their site or company overall can become the best it can be.
