ten design firm and organization wesites

COLVIN DESIGN

Colvin Design
was the first website i visited for my research. Before I visited the website I already put a vision in my head on how the site would appear, I thought it would be more interestinting than it turned out to be. I think that this website was a little boring. I couldn't really see any of his designs even when i in larged the photos. The simple web design would have worked if the pictures were enlarged making them alot easier to see and also read the font that went along with it.
I found the website easy to navigate because everything was in order so all I had to do was click on another word to take me to the next page. I was kind of let down by the small amount of graphics there was hardly any, which kind of made the site a least favorite for me.


HLW INTERNATIONAL


This firm website is one of my favorite it was really interesting because it showed all the different countries they work in and when you click on the photos it leads the viewer to the different interior designs made by the company. I found it very easy to surf through the website and i also thought it was well designed, which kept me wanting to find out more about the company.

IA INTERIOR ARCHITECTS

i enjoyed all the information the website had to offer about this particular company. i thought the web site was well designed, although i would have reconsidered the bright colors which really tends to distract the viewer from the information on the website. other than that minor problem, the site was easy to navigate and i enjoyed the graphics. the website allows the viewer to see all of the designs without having to click on different things. i really recommend taking a look at this site.

CALLISON

The website for this company fit well; they kept the site simple and didnt add a lot of graphics like some companies did, which would take away from the viewer focusing on the company and its work. i was really impressed by the work this company has done and i was amazed at the amount of clients they had. i suppose thats why they rank first in the country. Overall the website was easy to navigate and its quality was really good.

NBBJ

Wow! I was amazed by the graphics they had in the site, which surpassed all of the other sites i have seen so far. This company payed so much attention to detail when setting up the site and it really shows. I really enjoyed how they had videos of client stories and what they thought about the companies work. This website really kept me glued to the screen and wanting to find out more about the company. They put so much graphic detail and info that enhanced their work and made it stand out.

GENSLER

I would have to say that this company's site doesnt really tickle my fancy. I'm not really sure what made it a least favorite, but i really didn't like it. The pictures of their work didnt do justice for it, i could hardly see their work. i would have rather had them put more photos of their work, people want to see what they can do they really dont care about what you have to say about it they just want to see the work. i also think that the graphics was a little weak and could have been better.

HOK

First of all this company's work is amazing, it was incredible to see all the work they did. I thought that the amount of graphic use fit well and really complimented their work. the pictures that they used to show their work was incredible and showed off what this company can do. It was kind of nice to see that they had some of their final sketches in their site, which was a nice change from seeing only the actual building because I got to see how real archtitects put their ideas on paper.

LEO A DALY

The photos of the work is what catches my eye when i go through the website, and i really enjoyed all the pictures they had of their work, which was pretty good if i may say so. they kept all the writing minimal and let the work speak for itself. The graphics were pretty good and werent as distracting as some of the other sites' graphics. this was an easy site to navigate unlike HOK'S, which confused me when i was trying to click around, maybe it was just me and not the site not functioning well.

The Ike Kligerman Barkley architects
i came across this firm as i was reading the Architectural Digest and i really like the style they worked in so i decided to check out their website to see what their other work looked like. i enjoyed going through this website because it was easy to get around. the use of color on the firm's website site was subtle and not distracting my attention from the work, but complementing the work.


RMJM HILLIER

When i went in to the rmjm hillier website it reminded me of troys final project because of the wite and bright orange on the site. just as in troy's project the color worked in getting my attention and giving the site a modern look. i was impressed by the amount of work they did and how they not only made modern deigns, but also had had work that looked traditional.
