Web Design 2- Web Analysis

Moodboard


Client's website: California Fitness


Executive Summary
For the web design2 project, I need to redesign the california fitness website. For the homepage, i found that there not interestig at all and the text is a bit too small. The image that use at the home page is not that nice, and it cant really bring out the healthy and sunshine feel. Some of the pages dosent have any images, and it looks bored. There are too many nagivations in this page which i think some of it came be in a same category. All the webpage look the same and dosent have much changes. It really look bored. By the way, i find that those information is too many and will make people feel confuse when read bout it. I think they should include all the package price because it will be more conviniet to those customer who wanted to join the package.
Short and Long-term Site Goals
The purpose for redesign this website is to make it more user friendly, more neat and tidy, and also to make sure that all the latest promotions and news will be update to the website.
I realise that they does not maintain their website well, they less update their latest promotions and news. They should always updating their website with recent promotions and news to assure customers or stick with them. If they didnt update their promotion well, sure they will lost part of customer when visiting their website.
