Website 4 - EnergyPark - Lab 1

 https://energy-park.co.uk/

 I liked that when you hover over a word in the navigation header of the homepage a box pops down from the top of the page to give the user an overview of what is on that webpage, so that navigating and finding certain options on the website becomes easier for users.

This is definitely a feature I would use in my future webpages as easy navigation on any website is crucial for making the user have an easier time interacting with information that your website is about.

Another small feature I liked was when you hover of lists of items or really just any link an animation would be shown to pretty much tell you that this piece of text is linked to someplace else and that this is the object you are hovering over. This type of feature can be nice to have when the borders of certain objects might be more ambiguous or less noticeable. 

Having an animation play when hovering over objects is common place in today's website, this is because whatever it is that is being animated makes it more easy to read or focus on, as it is much easier to focus on something that is out of place than something that is similar or in the same format as everything else for human eyes, thus enhancing user interaction with the website; For this reason I will definitely be using this feature in future websites.

Website 1 - NavaPress - Lab 1

Image
  https://navapress.com/ A feature I liked about the NavaPress website was it's small "More detail" boxes that had a link  attached to them to take you to a more detailed version of what you click on for more information about the topic, therefore enhancing the users experience.  Another rather cool feature in NavaPress was it's magnifying  glass effect that came from hovering over top of images to have a closer look at images, and a more interactive experience with the website. Having extra detail boxes or links in websites for more information is definitely something I would like to add in future websites as it serves as a place for viewers to go to learn more about the subjects/items of your website.   Having a magnifying effect on images is definitely a more unique feature when it comes to making websites however this can be a nice feature to have when using high detail images that may want to be viewed closer up, reveal more detailed descriptions...

Website 10 - Minimalist Baker - Lab 1

Image
https://minimalistbaker.com/   I liked that the minimalist baker website had special search headers like Gluten-free and Vegan that takes you to a list of recipes that they had under that specification, as these are common categories that a lot of people might want to look into it adds to the ease with which users can interact with and navigate their website to find the information or in this case recipes that they might want.  Another element of the minimalist baker website was it's use of photos for each of the recipes shown so that users can easily recognise types of food or recipes they might like more or consider making. Having photos on websites like thi s that show recipes or products makes it easier for users or consumers to find what they are looking for much easier, improving their overall experience with the website; Thus I would wish to use these sorts of elements in some of my websites in the future where features like these might be more applicable like store pa...
