Website Evaluation

Website Evaluation http://www.videosoniclab.com/

This site is a strong example of poor usability and poor web design.

There are no visual cues to identify relationships on the page. The text on the page is larger than the name of the store on the page or the store motto. There is nothing to draw you in. There is too much colour, different font type sizes and some of the labels are blurry and difficult to look at. The images are pixilated which makes them unappealing to the eye. There is an attempt to group related services into three columns, but it is not effective. Some of the colours chosen to use for text (e.g., lime green on white) are impossible to read. It would take too long to actually determine how to navigate the site, so most people would not even bother to try. The site looks so unprofessional it would be hard to take them serious.

The links used on the site are not the traditional colours. Where traditional colour is used and you would expect a link there is none. The links for Home are in the traditional spots (top right and bottom of the page). Assorted fonts are used to present the text. Text is difficult to read. It is sometimes small and italics are over-used. Screen resolution is poor. Some underlined text is not a link and some text that is formatted like a button is also not a link. While there are no broken links, the Online Store is closed. To see much of the content, you have to go to the second-level.
