Pose photography
 
The site is a photography company specializing in studio portraits but
do offer some location and wedding photography.
The whole site is based on photography and each page has there images on them.
they have there address on the top right hand of the screen and that also repeats on all pages.
the site contains three section one being the home page, the second being a gallery of work,
the other being contact detail and the last training option.
The lay out is the same on each page having the address in the top right corner  and its repeated at the bottom of the page, the name at the top left; category of each option on a pink
strip underneath the companies name. Then theres and slide show right in the middle and any information underneath this. But when you go in to let just say the gallery and click on weddings then the slide show is still in the middle but is just wedding one showing. They offer deal at the bottom of the page.
The company offer photo shoot to a big target audience because they offer such a variety of photo shoot and training, theirs target audience would be couples, mother and father, bride and groom to be, pet owners, families, trainee make up artist and amateur photographers.They try and sell photo shoot and advertise deals to potential clients that loom at the sit.
They also offer training make up and also a DSLR beginners course,
these both cost different prices and the make up cost about £95 and the beginner cost about £80.The website i would say is small and simple, which is most effective to navigate around and get what your looking for. If you look at buying a shoot you can look at sample of similar one on the gallery and
it is easy to find and control what your look for, using this layout means the deal prices are at the bottom of the page making them see the images first and if they really like them they might find a deal on and it make them buy the shoot. Its only got four subtitle you can choose from which make its easy to read and really simple. The background colour is black and there is small strip of pink what header and footers the top and bottom of the pages.using two colour keep it simple and easy on the eye but may seem a bit girly seen the target audience are not all female. Only having two colours i think keeps it simple and choosing black and a background gives a professional look.Changing and clicking on different pages are a median speed and do not take long before it soon open.
The slide shows are at a good pace to it keep the viewer entertained this are with all pages with slide shows on.The images on each page are the first this you see and that good as its a photography company,
the images and are big and eye catching which make the viewer more interested. 
I think they can improve there website by adding more image to the site and also be able to buy online as it done give you and option. This make heighten the number of prints being sold. Over i think it a
really good and easy site to visit i think theirs and really bubble and nice feel to the page which make the view more comfortable with pay for shoots.

BBC 

The website is huge site it link with other areas such as weather and sports.
The site offer a information point for everyone find out the latest news, upcoming TV program's

It really offers everything  for all walks of life weather you enjoy watching news and sport to
nature and history. 
The site has link to other site pacific to any one person or persons. It allows you to view a bit
of everything from the smart layout and design of the website mean you get to see the weather as well and the
poplar program's  and it change on a timer slide show meaning you get a peak of everything
on the home page. It has a massive amount of link to other website down the bottom right
comer listing thing from iplayer to food and weather,it has a full a-z search of other sites
and program's making it easy to find what you are look for. 

The site has a balance of picture and information breaking up the writing make it easier on
the eye and to read.

The site has a colour scheme of black and white but this could make it boring but it don't
because they image they uses brighten the whole page making it attractive and pleasing
to the eye. The website is easy to navigate because the set up with the subtitle of sport
and nature of the whole website making it easy to pick the category  and search for
the program. The page  load fast and simple and you don't have to wait but each
page is it own website.

There is a mixture of still and moving image and the images make it easy to highlight
the area which your look for . I really like the fact they have both make it easier to
understand the topic or get information quickly. The moving images add to
 the whole site making it more intelligent and easier to use. The placement of
the moving part is key to the website making it suitable for all.
They clips and audio on this site overs a bigger target audience
because it offer interacting  with deaf and blind people.

I really like the design of the whole website it is a mind map but the website
work because the subtitles and heads make it easy to navigate. some how
the website designer has manage to make it easy for who ever the view is
 no matter what disability also offers  huge rang of option with out confusing
the viewer and also making the whole website flow. I don't think there is any
way you can improve the website because its so advance to any others and I think it tick all the boxes for a great website.

Autograph-abp 

The website is about photographing black history, the website is an educational an offer a wide range of book and information on upcoming events and exhibitions. There are many historical information about black history and how it has developed over the year. The site is big hit has links when click on some of the images and there are also many areas to explore. The site was made to make awareness and information about different culture and how human right didn't always apply to cultural identity and race using photographs to tell a individual story. They produce there on exhibitions and events working with artist from around the world.

The way the website is layout with event and information i would say it is aimed at adults of all ages but this site might not suit everyone. The images are very similar but have different stories it may interest more of the older generation because the image are black and white. The site sells books of artist they have worked with they also sell there prints, they sell newspapers which some of them they create there self's. They inform you about event and exhibitions where and when they are on and what they exhibitions are. The site has a online ordering service what allows you to buy a product and they will ship or mail it to your address. The site also offer you a learning opportunity's with some of the artist they have worked with.

The site is easy to navigate and find you way you can click on a picture and it will take you to the link and tell you more about that image or event. The home page has three main colours red white and black very simple colour and the red really brighten things up and it make it easy and pleasing to read. The layout it very easy it has four information point at the top of the page and it tell you about the site, its history, contact details and a link to the photo of the week. The first thing you see is the is a big picture which really get the viewer interested and then you read the big bold writing which it says the latest exhibition and the date which you can click on and it bring you to more information about the exhibition. The pages load up and turn quickly means you don't have to wait for the age to load which make the view feel more relaxed and its make the site look more positive. The other pages and link of the site all have the same colour theme and they are also layout in a similar way which make the whole transition from one page to another smoother and more effective to the viewer. The image are all big enough to see and the placement of the image make them more easier to see and read about. I think if they open there target audience to more modern image will make there audience wider and will other more to young generations. I also think the site is very factual and think if they make it simple to many be adding for images that grabs your attention.


Simon Archer

The website is a photographers advertising his serves for weddings and general photography. The website is design for couple looking to get married and people who wants general photograp

hy "what ever that is!" the website is very small scale and it dose not have many links. It has a top row of pages such as home, overview, enquiry, profile and links. They pages don’t look professional because of the doted line around the outside. The colours used are very simple and they would work if the doted line around the outside were not there.
He sates general photography but don’t say what he mean by general and he say about enquire about wedding but if you can see his deal or packages you don’t know what you can get for your money and also you can see any of his images so you don’t know how good he his and what he does. The logo is unclear and a bit fuzzy I also think the logos on the wrong side of the page and the quote should be on that side also the quote is joined up writing and making it hard for some viewer to see.

The website is confusing because your expecting a photographer website and you get writing and no images. I also feel that the site is confusing as there no heading of what he does, he also has no gallery or portfolio to see his work and only on his home page he has image which you cant click on to make them big. The pages are ugly and very wordy which make me not want to read on. His target audience are aimed a engage couples look for wedding photographer but he don’t make it clear. They site has a bad lay out with is home page all black and white but not one picture catching the viewers eyes also he dose not describe a lot about his self so really you can get an idea of what or who your hiring it could be a con. He has written about his work being used for the BBC but there no link to prove this. 

The website states that the photographer will be using a film camera to capture you day but I think he should offer both because it would wider his audience also if he did a mixture they don’t have only one choice they have a couple of different make his sells higher. Over all the website is old fashioned and need some updating also the link are old and the website that have been link are badly set up and layout. I really dislike the whole site I think all the site need up dating and almost everything need to be change this is a very poorly build website.

Mathew seed

Mathew seed is an equine photographer, his website is really nice and I really like the way its layout. He advertises his services as a photographer. He uses fine art photography to capture his subject in a beautiful liking. The target is aimed at horse owners and equine shop as he sells his fine art prints. He also has commission cost and a gift option for friends and or family. You can pay online but has to get in contact with them. The website is big has many links and page but they layout and subheading make is look like small.

The website is very modern and I really like the little feature such as being able to hide the option list.  I think the site look professional and it go a sparkle to the whole page. I really like that the background is a slideshow of some of his images. I think the image bring colour and a strong relationship to what his services are and his target audience see these image first. I think he has a nice range and selection of images shown on the slideshow and it goes and a nice speed. The website is set out really clear and you can find what your look for with a click of a button. The page takes time to load but the content makes it worth waiting for. The other pages to the website is pleasing and really similar and link the all the pages with the same colour scheme. I think the white writing really pop out and catch the attention of the views eyes. I also like the green framing around the option list splash a bit of colour to the whole website.

He offers a range of information about him and his work up coming exhibitions. The image are really nice size which you can see all the detail and texture of the tack on the horse.  I think over all the website is elegant and modern make it easy and pleasing to the overall site. I also really like the testimonial section it allow people to see feed back of there shoot or other people shoots and have a sort of idea in which there shoot might go. I think it show how good he is and how much feedback he gets.

I think I couldn’t improve it anymore as I feel it a great website the only thing I would say is to open his photography skills and expanding to a new area of photography in which he will a pile to a wider audience. I really like the website and really enjoy look though the whole thing. 

Canon Uk

This company specializes in technical equipment   mainly cameras and printer with there accessory. The website is really attractive it looks modern and bright, there is a white and red colour scheme to the whole website which make the site look bold and exciting. The slide show on the home page has a selection of their products with money back deals off a range of their products.

The slide show has a range of different images such as three of the images being products, one an eye-catching photograph and collage of images. It offers a range of product for both home uses and businesses, which are specific to an area of businesses. I really like how they offer reviews on there products and sample images and video so you know what your getting for you money. The website is got a lot of information but it is broke up with images making it easier to read.

The pages are quick to change with no hesitation and each page is set up in a different way such as for home main contains information about some product and all the others ahs a different layout but a mixture of both information and images. The main purpose of this website is to sell there products.
They have a payment method where you create an account with them and they have a basket where you store all you items you would like to buy. The images on the site are all big enough so see and also it if you click on the image it takes you to the products. 

Lisa Bettany Photography

The website is a photographer website so the main purpose is to try and promote her services. The page is a really nice set up with her images being the first thing you see and both the images are really beautiful images which will encouraged you too look into the website more. The simple heading makes it clear and easily to navigated around the web page. I really like the if you click on one of the two images it will tell you about where the image was taken what lens and camera was used and also the setting the camera was on at the time. When you notice that her home page is her portfolio it make it even nice because the images take up most of the space.

The images on all pages are very strong and large so you can see all the detail of the image. The background is black and the writing is grey in colour which is not as harsh as white which gives a professional look to the whole website. The pages move fast and you haven’t got to wait as well as the pages has not got a lot of writing on which make it more about her photography then her history which some website get carried away with.

I feel the website is new as there’s not many images but a nice range of places, I also think there not a lot of experience or qualifications which might me she hasn’t got any or a very small amount. There aren’t any link to her website and there isn’t much on there but there only one way of contacting her is by email.  

Bhphotovideo

The site is huge it has many pages the first being the home page which is also a shop the second a used equipment department the three learn in depth and the last page is blog. But with in these they offer categories of product there price range is a really reasonable and the webpage make you feel really welcome.

The website is bright and vibrant in colour with a colour scheme of red green and black. The website sale all sort of photography and video equipment from studio lighting to dark room equipment. They have a range of equipment, which tailors from the amateur to the pro photographers. Their website is easy to navigate and just to make is easier they have a search bar which you can type in what you are looking for and it will take you straight to the product. The page are similar with the same colour scheme as the home page, the pages turn quick when they are click on. There is a lot of information with each product so you can read what you get for your money also there are small image that break up the text.

They have a payment method where you sign in and add product to your basket. There is a page where you can find out more about you product with detail that go in depth.

The images on the home page are small but big enough to see what they are when click the images it bring you to the product which has a page of it own the images becomes big and you can seem more detail. The website is a really good and detail site where you have many page link and product but because they are categories it make the site look small in size.

Nikon

Nikon is a camera and equipment manufacturer site which sales and offer a wide range of advise and options.The site is huge with many link to other sites and also a wide range of options from buying a new product to learn about you current equipment.

My first thoughts on the web page is that there not a bold or strong colour to capture the viewer attention. On the site they have many pages which offer you different options from advise to teaching and they have a lot of option that they offer.The main colour scheme is white and yellow but there is a splash of other colours thought out the website. All the pages have the same colour scheme but as you click on the area of location the bigger the images and bolder the colours get I really like the moving image at the start where you can interact with a globe and pick you location this offer the view a better experience because it will mean they will make the pricing easier, also this link to another website which white is more pleasing to the eye.

The images are a nice size to see and good contrast in colours to please the eye. There is a lot of information but it is broken up with images of the product they sale or it might be with the shots of one of there product in action. The speed of the change of pages could be quicker but i feel there are at a speed where it don't take too long to change. The structure of the website has a standard approach with small columels of text with picture to break up the columels. They have a payment method where you create an account and you add product to your cart. It is a simple but easier way of paying safely online.
