On my first day we had been
My choice in sites was not solely based on my lack of sleep but more so in the fact that I wanted to compare two simplistic utility sites. Sites such as these are good comparisons, as for them to work well they need to be streamlined, simplistic yet packed with gadgets for the user, and aesthetically pleasing.
Bad site
was a site called ____________. This site had a bright green background. In my opinion, this on it's own would of flunked it, but there is more I believe that they could of done better on. For one, The keys where shaded badly, and the colours did not match one another. Another problem with it was the fact that it was a very crammed sight, which is the last thing you need when you are in a rush, or needing to go straight to bed. The last thing I really hated about it is that some of the buttons where only understood after you have clicked them
Good site
My other site was http://onlineclock.net/. This site was amazing.
In compairison to the site that I reviewed before it, It had a black background, with red letters. The red letters, including their font, was very well done, as it looked exactly like what you would see stairing back at you in the middle of the night with the use of a traditional alarm clock. This make the user more comfortable, as it allowed it to seem more homely and traditional.
Some of the other things that http://onlineclock.net/did well was it's use of space and a lot of the page was left black, and selections where in white and grey right below the timer.
At the bottom, the ad part was well placed as your eyes will go to it before you would shut down the screen due to the contrast, and more well placed, the buttons for social network sharing is right above the advertisement.
