Working Examples (again!)

To compare to the bad experience i had whilst using the Sun website, i tried to find a website that was user friendly. My favourite one i visited was http://www.habitat.net/uk/main_uk.htm I think that this website for Habitat is well designed, even though it has been designed for a different purpose than the Sun the layout and content is much more accessable. It is so much easier and quicker for the user to find what they are looking for as the imformation is split up into different catogories e.g. different rooms in the house and even further into diffrent items of furniture. This website in my opinion is alot more successful in giving the user what they are looking for. The pages are well balanced and there is not to much displayed on each page. In fairness, both websites navigational bar remains in the same place no matter where your are in the website. They both sit left of the screen and display all the options the user needs to move through the pages. I think i will use this feature of the navigational bar being to the left of the screen as it is more natural for the user - as we read from left to right, so therefore it will be the first thing that the user will see and then recognise as they move through my project.
