Examples of Websites

Why are you making this website or what will it do?

Design a website for my friend’s guitar studio since he doesn’t has one.

Who is the audience? (describe three types of people that this is for)

kids from 6 and above (Acoustic guitar)

adults who want to learn Acoustic or electric guitar

people who wants private lessons.

Write down three descriptive words/feelings that your website should evoke in a viewer (for example VICE magazine would be confrontational, riveting, edgy)

calm, sunshine,awakening

Please list three or more websites with links that inspire your design and tell us why:

KithNYC: I like how they use a huge slide show to emphasize their new products. Yet, there won’t be too many photos on the slide to distract away the shoppers. Also, it is smart having twitter & instagram widget syncing on their page to keep shoppers update on their stuffs.

HomecookingNYC:The page is simple and informative. One thing I like about the page is their calendar. On the calendar, they have a little picture of the dish that they will teach on that day.

Soulcycle: I really like the idea that they toned the main page’s photo into white/black, then having the vibrant yellow text overlaps on top of it. It really catches the eyes of the audiences and pay much more attention to their slogan.
