Clearpage Interactive- MVC website

This is the Missouri Valley college website. Clearpage interactive designed this website. They make interactive websites, they do traditional advertising, and corporate identity. One of their featured projects was designing the Missouri Valley College Website. I like the header. I like how the logo is on the left side and the search bar is on the right side. The navigation is very easy to read. I like how the body area is laid out. I really like the Calendar & Events on the left side. I think college students and other people will find the calendar section useful. I like how "Academics," "Admissions," and "About MVC" is laid out into 3 columns with links underneath. The home page is easy to read and follow. I also like the colors.  

The Green House

This is The Green House website. I like how a piece of weatherstrip is coming out from the side (at least that's what it looks like). I think the green and black work well for this website. This is a green website so they pretty much have to use the color green. I like the picture in the body area. I also like that they added a low opacity white curve going from the words to the green curved. This website is a little dark with the black background. The home page is very simple and clean. I like the text on the front. I think the typography works. I like how "weatherstrip," "home," and "energy" are in a bigger font and bold. Those words stand out from the rest. I think this is a simple, but effective website.

They designed the Currituck County (NC) Department of Tourism and Travel website. This is the official website of Currituck Outer Banks tourism. This website has a peaceful feel. I like the colors they chose, but I'm not sure if other people will like it. I like the blue sailboat in the header. I think they chose these colors to match the colors of the little icons above Currituck. This is a basic 3 column website. The text is easy to follow since it's in 3 columns. I like how they have pictures in each of the columns. I think the typography works well on this website. This is a simple, but to the point website. I also love the picture of the horses at the top.
 

KMW Studio

KMW studio is a graphic and website design firm located in New York. This website is called "The Artist Garden." The project was a landscape design website and the service was art direction, graphic design, and website design and development. I really like this website. I love the colors. The home page has a peaceful feel to it. I like the brown and the blue in the title box. They put the title in all lowercase letters, which you don't see much. The navigation is easy to read and I like it being brown. I think the thumbnail pictures work well on the left side. I like how if you click on a picture it will blow up to a bigger picture on the right side. I have designed 2 working websites and both of my websites have pictures on the side that blow up on the right. I like the feel and look to this website. I think KMW studio did a good job designing this website.

Ultimate Walleye Fishing

http://www.ultimatewalleyefishing.com/services/

 This is the Ultimate Walleye Fishing website. They also provide services such as website and print design. It says that they can design logos, custom web design and hosting, brochures, business cars, DVD packaging, and postcards. I really like the background of this website. I also like the colors and textured background. It fits with the fish and outdoor theme.  I like the header picture and the logo. The text below the picture is a little hard to read, but I don't think that text is that important. The centered-aligned navigation is not working. It would look so much better if it was left-aligned.  I like the body layout on the right side. The font is working and I like how the picture separates the body text. I think this is a pretty well designed website.

HindSite Interactive Design Firm_Bare Bites Website

http://www.hindsiteinteractive.com/portfolio/web-design/

HindSite Interactive is graphic design and web development firm. They are located in Frederick, MD.
  This is the Bare Bites website that they redesigned. The services were css and html. I think this a cute website. I really like the font choice. It has like a playful feeling to it and also a natural feeling. I think the colors work really well. I like how the Facebook and twitter logos are white and they fit with the website. I think the lines not being straight and has a textured edge to them work because this is a dog and cat treat website. It also gives it a natural feel. I like how the type is laid out next to the picture. It is easy to read and the text is different colors, but still in the same color family. The colors are duller, but I think they work. Again thinking about that natural look. I also love the dog and the cat at the bottom. They are simple, cute, and it adds a touch to the page. I like the design of this website. http://barebites.com/

Tourim Australia website

 This is the Wildlife Tourism Australia website. I like the header picture and the curve. I like the pictures at the top. It gives viewers a preview of what Australia has to offer. I also like the curve between the header and the navigation. The navigation is easy to read and I think it works being in a orange brown color. The 3 column body area works pretty well. I like that there is a picture on the left and then a description beside it. They kept the contact and subscribe information on the far right, which I think is a good idea. It's not in your face, but it's easy to find if you wanted to find that information. Overall, I like the layout of this website.
