|
Logo displayed?
|
Yes, it is in the top left hand corner.
|
Yes, it is fairly small and doesn’t really stand out over the images
displayed.
|
No, I can’t view a logo at visit glance of the website. The title of
the company is large so that may be the logo.
|
How many pages does the website contain?
|
It has a lot. About 10 main pages but in each main pages there is
about 10 more pages about products etc.
|
There is 4 main pages including the home tab. Like the ‘Health Food
Website’ there is several products pages on each main page.
|
About 10 main pages and 8 sub-pages.
|
Is
there eternal links?
|
No, from what I could see all the information was on the website, it
doesn’t go onto other websites.
|
There is no other links to other websites on ‘The Iconic.’
|
No.
|
Navigation
|
The navigation is good. I like the way when you hover your mouse over
a tab it comes up with the sub-links.
|
Yes, I like the way they have the three main headings (women, men’s,
sports) this makes it easier to make your way around the website.
|
There is a lot going on the website. It is hard to browse but easy to
find something if you know what you’re looking for and the category it is in.
|
Contact
Details
|
You have to scroll right to the bottom to find the contact link. They
have included all information – address, phone, email.
|
Yes they include the phone number but it’s at the bottom of the
website at it is hard to locate.
|
The contact link is really easy to find. It’s very easy to find (top
right corner). The link provides all details and is clear, easy to read.

Images/Pictures?
|
They are colourful and attracting. They don’t show off the products
to the best ability.
|
I think the pictures are displayed very well. They are large so they
grab your attention.
|
I love the pictures used on this website. They are large and eye
catching. They make you want to eat the products. The change every few
seconds to suit everyone’s taste.
|
Enticing?
|
No, I don’t think they are that enticing.
|
Yes, I think it does make most viewers want to browse around the suit
more.
|
Yes definitely. I think the photos look yummy and inviting. They do
want me to look further at the website.
|
Quick download?
|
Yes
|
Yes
|
Yes
|
Is there 3 or more images per page?
|
One large and a few smaller products at the bottom.
|
There is 5 pictures on the home page and then lots when you look at
the range of clothing available.
|
On the homepage there is only one, which I think is effective. On the
products page there is several.
|

Text
colour, size and
font
appropriate?
|
I think the font is simple which can work well to not take the attraction
of the products.
|
Yes, I like the font used, it’s classy but simple.
|
Yes the use of text was done well.
|
Text
broken into short paragraphs.
|
The main text is the small description of each product. I think they
should have as much on the homepage about an individual product.
|
Yes, there is basically no text other than the main headings.
|
There is a lot of headings which can make it easy to navigate but
there may be a few too many.
|
Any spelling or grammar errors?
|
No
|
No
|
No
|
Effective
white space?
|
I don’t like the way they have used white space. They have white
space on the sides but the header spreads all the way across so the images
aren’t in-line.
|
I think this website has used white spaced very cleverly. They have
it around the sides to make it look not so busy but its clean looking.
|
I think a bit more white space could have been effective but it works
okay.
|
Attractive background colour?
|
No. I don’t like the plan blue and green colour. I don’t think it’s
very inviting and it’s too simple.
|
Yes the colour scheme and background is the same throughout the
website and it doesn’t over power the products.
|
I don’t think the background really matches the images epically on
the home page.
|
Little scrolling?
|
On the home page there is limited and same with the products as there
is several pages of products rather than them all on one large page.
|
On the homepage there is none but on the products page there Is a lot
as they have all the products on one page.
|
Along with ‘The Iconic’ on the homepage there is none but on the
products page there Is a lot as they have all the products on one page.

Features?
Appropriate?
|
Not really, there is a few pages on healthy options
etc.
Yes.
|
From what I could see there is no odd features.
-
|
There is quite a lot of information about the
business and things.
Yes.
|
Overall
|
Overall I think this is a reasonable website. If you
don’t what an overload of images and advertising the products then it’s good.
I think it’s too simple and not eye catching enough. I think you like it if
you know the website and you’re looking for something in particular rather
than the company persuading you do buy the products.
|
I like this website set out. It simple and sells the
products well. It focuses on the clothes and I think it has a nice modern
feel to it.
|
This website has a lot going on. I think there might
be a few too many tabs but I think the concept is there. The images I love
and they really attract viewers.

Marketing
your Business
I think the
five best ideas to get the product out there are:
Special
Offers: Special offers encourage buyers to buy products whilst cheaper. They
then taste the product to find out how good it is and then are prepared to pay
a little bit more for it.
Free
samples with a brochure: People tend to buy things when they know what they are
buying. This means if they get given a free sample and information about the
product they will remember the taste and go to buy more.
Online
adverting: I think online advertising is very clever, especially considering
Chai Obsessed is a online business. This means people are online when they see
the advertisement and then can go straight to the website to purchase the
products.
Competitions:
Completions give people an incentive to buy products. They see winning
something as exciting and they are happy to buy something for that chance. They
then will taste the product and find out who good it is.
Quantity
discounts: these are good because it means people will buy more and may give
some away as presents or show their friends which will spread the brand name
faster.
