2. Consistency/ Mr. Leight
The website Mr.Leight exemplifies
consistency with the neutral color theme as
well as the continuous shape, rotation,
proportion, and size of all the photographs
shown on the home page. This website is very
simplistic as well as elegant. There is also a
showcasing pattern to show the different
styles of glasses available for sale by the
company.
3. Visibility/ Inside the Head
This website is interactive and leads the user
on a path of discovery through stories and
confessions. It demands little actions from the
user to be performed in order to carry on
throughout the website and all it entails on the
journey of the mind as told by young adults and
their experiences.
4. Learnability/ Basic Culture
Basic Culture is a very creative website but
also is highly distracting with its flashing
images, and constantly moving, interactive
“flag-like” background. Although there are
many distractions the website is still fairly
easy to use but takes some getting used to.
(takes learning!) It doesn’t take long to get the
hang of the website and all of it funny
contents.
5. Predictability/ Bees Bees Bees
This website is solely purposed to provide one
service to a user, thus giving the user a sense
of control. Although it is quite gimmicky It is
comfortable to use beesbeesbees.com because
you always know exactly what is going to
happen and why you have chosen to visit this
site and engage in feelgood, childlike
laughter!
6. Feedback/16 personalities
A website that demonstrates good feedback
such as 16 personalities shows you an
immediate reaction after most to every action
a user would make on the website. This
website is an interactive quiz to tell you the
results or FEEDBACK of what type of person
you are based on the answers you would give
to the questions provided to you.
