After stripping both sites of its color, layout, and images I noticed the importance of adhering to CSS standards. Different browsers and computers display websites differently causing your content or images to be distorted or lost due to its inability to support the website design. But if you follow the CSS standards you can at least expect to have your content read legibly despite what a computer can processor and support.
The Carnival website, after disabling its color and layout, was still functional and pleasing to look at. The purpose of the website was still delivered for it did not depend solely on its design. The Content carried the website. On the contrary, Kristinacruise’s website was difficult to look at when stripping out its web presentation elements. When disabling all styles of CSS on the site, it showed a photo display of places to visit (taking up half of the page), and all the content was cramped up on the far bottom left column. It felt more like a blog instead of a cruise website.
Color, layout, and images are important on a cruise line website but content and function is essential for it is you main purpose for creating the site. A cruise website is intended to bring up revenue and inform customers on their services. If you cant deliver a website that is compatible or closely capable to providing content on all browsers, than you might as well stick to advertising on a newspaper.
I completely agree with you. I noticed all of the same things when stripping the Royal Caribbean site. When stripping the images, the site looked fine (just a little empty). When stripping the color readability was still high but the site wasn't pretty. And when stripping the CSS the site still functioned but the formatting was gone and everything appeared in one long column.
ReplyDeleteCompatibility is a big key. Seeing is that everyone has a mobile device and computer, being able to access these sites anywhere, anytime is important. The same experience should carry over form device to device.
