Web Critique: Mess Hall
Design:
Eye Catching...and organized-looking...but is it really organized???. Images are not random...but create interest. There are no tabs up top to deepen your search. You have scroll down and really look at the opening page to find links to what you are interested in.The colors are simple but draw attention to necessary areas.
Layout:
I have grown accustomed to the boring tab up top routine but I do like that for easy access...so I wish the mess hall would use that method too. Although eye catching it isn't as easy to navigate as other websites we have looked at.
Content:
All the content is there if you are willing to snoop around and look for it. You can find out how to get there by CTA, there is a calendar of event, you can get more information on workshops, there are random links that you won'tt know what they are about until you click on them and you can find out what the Mess Hall is really about. I especially really like the link that leads to the web showing what the mess hall is all about.
I kind of think that should be on the opening page though.

Design:
Ugh...the design is a total bore. Really boring that I don't really want to explore the site.
There are images when you enter the tab areas but nothing on the front....it is an artist site and you would never tell by the look of it.
Layout:
The layout is typical with tabs to explore details of the site. The front page is reallyreally lacking.
Content:
BUT the content is so fascinating!!! I live two blocks from pilsen and love the community...and have never heard of this organization. Because the meat and heart of the website is of interest to me I will definitely follow it.

Design:
Super simple, catchy easy design that pops with interest/flavor
I like it very much.
Layout:
I really like the layout...again with the tabs up top to navigate to different areas of the site...easy to find.
I really dig the "non pretentious" opening page with youtube videos and clips....very open...nothing to hide...what you see is what you get.
Content:
The very first thing you read on the front is a clip explaining the site---"non pretentious"
There is so much to absorb on the opening page but it isn't wordy and it is easy to see so that you can pick your poison..so to speak.
Under the tabs are more written content...also with more visuals.
I think it is clear...what they are about, how to reach them, who is involved and what is going on there.
