This is our first research post on our blogs. This role is applied to Mari, and she has gathered a lot of websites for us to look at, analyse and come up with the pros and cons of the website. We all sat as a group, checked out the websites that Mari has picked and discussed it as a group. In this post I will be breaking it down into parts to explain what has been analysed, how it helps us with our homepage and what to avoid.
First Homepage: She Wears Fashion
This website that we have looked at is www.shewearsfashion.co.uk which is a fashion blog in the UK. The homepage of this website displays the recent posts that this individual has posted onto her blog. At the sides of this page are social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram that readers can follow and join for recent updates. On top of the page it is the name of the website, the individual's name and the menu. The menu has three sections; HOME, ABOUT and CONTACT.
We have looked at this homepage because it has something do with fashion and blogging. Our website will have a feature where the audience can access the blog side of the website where it will show the image of the outfit and a button to access the blog. This does relate to our blog, however we were thinking to put more sections on the menu such as a shop for the audience to access and behind the scenes. As this is just an individual that updates the website, we have a better chance to put more material and features onto our website as we are a group of three and work with photographers, models and directors.
PROS: Simple colours that are used are something that we are looking for. The reason why we want to use a simple design for our layout is to not clash with the fashion photo shoot pictures as models will be wearing different colours and will be placed in locations that may have colourful sets to it. This website's design is simple black and white to take the audience's attention from the colourful design and actually focus on the pictures. The way the social networks that have been placed are quite convenient as the audience are just a click away from the blogger's social media account.
CONS: There aren't enough features on this website. There is just a blog, about the website and how to contact the person. However, this is about the design and layout of the website. The only thing that bothered all of us are the way the right side of the website is cluttered with different shops to buy from, such as 'eBay' and 'New Look' which made us this is more of advertising other companies and not focusing on the material that is on this website.
