The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Part II

 - structural properties
        - usability (ease of use)
        - navigation (three questions)
                - where am I now?
                - where can I go from here?
                - how to I go back to the previous page/section?
        - bugs and/or inefficiencies
            - slow load times?
            - "un-presented" media?
            - plug-ins without alternate versions?

            - does it run in at least three different browsers? (i.e. Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, etc)

Konditer Klass, translated to Confectioner Class, is a sharply designed webpage that not only is pleasant to look at, but is easily navigated.

The homepage consists of a menu at the top of the screen, which does not disappear as you navigate deeper into the website. Using Google Chrome, it is extremely easy to translate the page from Russian to English, as shown below.

There are also ways to translate using Firefox or Safari, but Chrome has the easiest method.

By simply scrolling, you can see more information about Confectioner Class on each subsequent page.

Scrolling up takes you back to the main title page, but notice how the menu does not disappear at all, regardless of where you navigate.

I did not notice any slow load times on any of the browsers, and the website displayed similarly in each of the three.

Our site that we deemed needed some work, Motrec, for the most part has a very functional and easy to navigate webpage. It does require a flash plugin, as the home screen shuffles different things at you as the viewer.

The good: menu stays with you as you navigate deeper within the website. 

The bad: this website is just plain boring. The color scheme, the choice of photos, everything is boring. Add some spice to it to go with it's good quality of functionality, it would be much more enjoyable to navigate.

Let's take a look at Ramon's Critique of the conceptual properties of each of the websites.
