Web Design Research


In our Web Design lesson we have been asked to do some research, this involved us finding a website of which would help us to decide our layout for our website we create.

From looking at the website below I found this Bottle Bell Photography:
http://www.thephotoargus.com/inspiration/40-great-photographer-portfolio-websites-for-inspiration/

Bottle Bell Photography has an amazing professional website of which looks rather spooky to the eye at first. It starts up with some music and a dimming light like a horror. The light has words appear in it like "conceptual", "emotive" and "transcendent" before coming up with the final "BOTTLE BELL PHOTOGRAPHY". If you want to miss this intro it has the option at the bottom of the screen. the colouring is simple with the use of black and a creamy colour between green and yellow (like a brown). The website has a textured flower background (like wallpaper) to make it a sophisticated website.

After the intro, the website goes straight to the gallery where you then click on a image of the four displayed to pick a category of photography you would like to look at. It goes straight to the set of photographs where it then is displayed as a small slideshow with a little information about the selected category at first, this slideshow can also be viewed at full screen of which is helpful as the photos are not particularly big. The name of the photograph is viewed above.

I like this website because it is different from other photography websites with the use of a slideshow and being presented as a film at first making it more interesting to look at. Out of all the websites I looked through this was my favourite as well as another website.

The website is seen on the link below:
