Web Design 2 { Just Life }


The Website that given to me is Just Life. An company that sell organic product, food and etc. When i click through the site, i find that the site was actually looks better than i expected. The design was very clean and simple. The only bad thing was the composition, background and the information hierarchy. The background was kind of annoying because it keep on changing when i click through pages, the background was also not so "organic". Next is the menu bar, i could find some link that couldnt be found on the main page. Thats a very big problem, because i dont know where am i. although they do have breadcrumbs...
