Three potential problems for visitors.
Webpage is not mobile compatible, the drop down menu headers are coming offline and hard to read. Webpage design too basic, it could have used more colors to make it jump at me. It was difficult to figure out the company’s target audience.

What could be improved on these websites and why would these improvements help?


The feedback page would allow customers to post real time experience on their website. Videos send a more intimate experience of the activities inside the company. Fewer contents allow the customer to get to the information faster without having to sort out the large data field, which can make reading tiresome. Mobile compatibility is important since a larger portion of customers are now using mobile devices for their look up source. A very catchy web page can help attract attention and conveys artistic effort which can go a long way for some customers. A strong focus on the website demographic can help narrow their target market and help drive the right audience to their website.

The drop down menu is very easy to use with clear and concise product description, available without having to flip through all the pages.

How does design, aesthetics and branding impact your reaction to the websites?
Design, aesthetics and branding creates a great impact on me by allowing me to differentiate a product from the competitors. My reaction to a great website is to feel that connection with my artistic side, lifestyle, and passion. It’s important that I feel all of it, it helps creates a story for me that I can believe in and can help me live better in a dream state.
