Week One: One Page Websites

These are one page websites I liked.


Muziekpark: http://www.muziekpark.nl/#/

• Design choices, such as limited colors, the use fo negative space, and the right amount of playfulness, make the site easy to read and follow.
• It is very easy to fined pages and to move a page to the next because of the location of buttons and the simplicity of the site design.
• The transition to the next pages is also smooth. 
• It is very easy to read since the amount of information in a page is not too much.

• It has an impact.  The images may take over the content itself, but I enjoy the design.  
• The color choice matchs with the images.  Even though there are many colors, the whole design has unity because the all colors are muted with the same brownish color.
• It has both scientific and artistic qualities, and I, personally, like the duality in the design.

• The monochromatic color scheme, the transparentness, and subtle organic shapes make the image very poetic and beautiful.
• Unlike some sites that show off technical things taking over the content itself, this site has a beautiful design, yet the design doesn't overwhelm the content.

• It is a contemporary design yet has warmth from the colors.  The complementary colors are well used without being too strong to the eyes.  
• I like the clouds that stay in position while moving the content.
• The balance between the complicated shapes and the cleanness makes the design interesting.

• It has an interesting transition.

• The color combination is good, and the changes of colors from a page to a page are not distractive regardless of the clear changes. 
• Each design is simple, but the asymmetrical composition makes the page interesting.  The simpleness also makes the site clean and easy to read.

• Though it looks a little bit too crowded, the use of analogous color combination and the clear division of columns make the site still accessible.  
• It may be good for a poster design.

45RPM: http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=182/182.css

• It has a good color combination.  
• It has a cute design with the ribbon on the left, but it doesn't take over the content because it is clean and easy to follow.
• I guess, it has a good balance between an interesting design and readability.

• I like the idea of it even though I works for only specific kind of sites.
