www.tracylocke.com

www.richards.com

www.tracylocke.com will be my primary site.

Initial Impressions:

Initially, when visiting www.tracylocke.com, it is apparent that the appearance of the site was very important to its' creators. The use of color and appealing graphics is used throughout, as each click takes the visitor to a new burst of color and creatively designed navigation options. The site contains appealing graphics, even when they are merely background art, and gallery of unique photos of the workspace. After visiting the site, the reader will feel as though they visited the workplace itself.

Initially, when visiting www.richards.com, a bit of confusion ocurrs. The site was clearly designed to be minimally cluttered and easy to navigate. However, there is almost too little direction when the visitor enters the site. To the minimalist, the site would be visually appealing; however, to the average viewer, the site, which only really features 2 colors and very few graphics, can be boring at times.

At www.tracylocke.com, organization is effective. The site is categorically organized, as well as organized with subcategories, once a category has been selected and reached. Presentation is definately this site's strong suit. The site is presented as very creative and colorful, perhaps an indicator of the creative nature of the workplace. Navigation can be difficult at times, as an attempt to make the site visually appealing occasionally costs the viewer time in reaching desired information. At www.richards.com, organization is also effective. It is fairly clear where to go to reach desired information. The navigation is made somewhat easier, as there are only so many places to go/things to see at this site. Presentation, unlike www.tracylocke.com, is somewhat less impressive.
