Weekly website review - Week 2

I have decided to review the website that is site of the day on the FWA. I will do this over the next few weeks just so that I can see why those websites are sites of the day!


Nespresso - Dhjana


This is FWAs site of the day for today. It's a website for a coffee brand from a number of countries including Brazil & Costa Rica.


As soon as you go onto the site it has animated aspects to it, and you can immediately tell it is built in flash. The start page tells you a bit of information about the brand.

The coffee bean then disappears into the background which turns into the ground and a tree grows from the ground. I really liked this aspect of the site as it is quite interesting & is a nice connection to the main content of the site.

The first page you get to introduces the company. I think the navigation on the right hand side could be a lot more clear & maybe more decorative to fit in with the theme of the site. The pages are bright, eye catching & have animated aspects to increase the interactivity of the site.

When you click onto a link, even the loading bar fits in with the theme of the website. I think it's really clever and I like the way the little leaves represent how far the loading process has progressed.

On this particular page, the text on the right had side has no scroll bar. It moves according to the movement of the mouse when you roll over the text. I really liked this method of replacing a typical navigation bar, however people may find it is a bit difficult to control & the mouse may get in the way.

Overall, the website is very consistent & the theme is followed throughout all of the pages of the website. I find the graphics quite interesting & the way each part of the website is on a different part of the tree is a nice touch. I'll give this site 8/10 :)!
