Website 8 - 100,00 Stars - Lab 1

 https://stars.chromeexperiments.com/

o   What features/elements did you like and why? 

One thing that stood out to me on the 100,000 stars website was it's tour feature, the tour feature when clicked on would start to play a large animation/video that takes you through the websites model and explains different concepts surrounding space. For example in the tour it visually shows the length of a light year by zooming out from the solar system to give the viewer a better idea of the size. 

I like the tour feature because it makes it much easier to show and explain ideas and methods to do something, is it something I would consider making, potentially I don't know how the creators of this website went about making the interactive model seen on the website but I'd imagine that there are more efficient ways to go about making an interactive scene like this by using other types of software considering how choppy the animation felt.

 

Another decent feature on the 100,00 stars website was it's large zoom wheel on the right hand side of the screen to zoom into the model to see different levels or parts of the model. This scroll bar is certainly a nice feature to see, and has many uses throughout all types of websites for easier user interactivity with the website, I definitely see myself use a feature like this in future websites. 

However another idea of using the scroll bar similarly to how 100,00 stars have is being able to zoom into a medical display model to see more information about and the scale of parts with the human body from a whole human model to the size of a blood cell; In use cases like this it makes complex structures and scaling sizes much easier to understand and learn from, therefore adding to the user experience when interacting with the website

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...
