The part that caught my attention the most was the four
questions in mind when entering a site for the first time. What is this? What
can I do here? What do they have here? Why should I be here—and not somewhere else?
They are like little hints on how to design the homepage and what should be
there.
Yes, this link is kind of a repeat of what we’ve been
reading, but from my experience it’s handy to have a shortened or list version
of the important bits, and since I didn’t take notes I feel this will come in
handy someday down the road.
I picked this one because I think it’s a great example of a
homepage. The illustration style is immediately engaging, and their purpose is
stated quickly and simply as well as being visually prominent. The navigation
is clean and simple, although a couple of the drop-downs could be shorter. The
donate button is very clear as well, which also tells you that is an option and
what kind of group they are.
This is an interesting homepage because it offers the who,
why, and navigation immediately, but it also offers a short biography without
it being too loud and in your face. It’s there but you don’t have to concern
yourself with it first thing since you have to scroll to see the whole thing.
