the good and poor features

The good features of boots.com


As for the text of boot.com the background of this web site does not interrupt the text. Besides that,the columns of text of boots.com are narrower than in a book, this makes the reading easier on the screen while serving this net.


The navigation buttons and bars of boots.com provide visitor with a clue as to where they are, and what page of this site they are presently on. It is also consistent throughout the web site.The navigation bars and buttons of boots.com are easy to understand and easy to use.

Other then that, the links are not underlined but when you point the cursor to a link the underlined and colored text appeared on the link.The link color is coordinates with the web page color.



Besides that, every graphic link of the product of boots.com has a matching text link. The bars and buttons are not too big and dorky. The graphics and background of boots.com are using browser-save colors. The animated graphic changes slide by themselves (slide show) in every web pages that contains slide show.

Lastly, the general design of the pages of boots.com downloaded very fast. Boots.com have a good use of graphic elements such as slide show to show their products, photos, pull quotes to break up the large area of text. Every web page of boots.com looks like it belongs to the same site. They have same design and repetitive elements that carry throughout the page. E.g. the background color, text, graphic design are almost the same. All of the pages include the first page and home page fits into 800 x 600 pixel space. There are no scroll sideways.


The poor features of boots.com

First, the texts are too small to read. There are texts crowding against the left edge.


Secondly, some links are loading too slow (my account). The background color of the web pages interrupted some of the links.

As for the navigation there are over complex navigation in this web site.


Lastly, for the general design of the boots.com there are too many focal points on this web site. It is also lack of contrast such as in background color, text, to create hierarchy of information, did not put any effort on the design (too simple).
