I think this website has a similar feel to it as mine. I think this is because the use or orange warm colours and the use or squares. The orange colours and squares are similar to my logo and text and the squares are also alike my background pattern on my header.

I think this website does not portray their info / images as well as my website. They have used white squares as thumbnails, which you then rollover to show the thumbnail image at the top of the page. Where as all my thumbnail images are shown in the first place in the place i want them on the page. I feel this is beneficial because on their site people will have to rollover all the white square to just see the thumbnail image which is time consuming and will put a lot of people off. Also if returning viewers want to see a certain image they will have to remember roughly where the image was of go though all of them again.

The thumbnail images are also cropped images of the real thing so when you click on it you see the whole image. This means sometimes the real image is not as you expected.





















I think the use of flash on this website makes it more interactive than my website. Once you click on the image the sections of the page slide out and then the image fades in. This gives a really nice effect and makes the page look professional. Once you are on the full image page you can also roll over below the image and a box drops down with the rest of the thumbnails from the same section as the image you are on. This is nice but the drop down bit doesn't tell you that if you roll here the thumbnails will appear it just relies on the user rolling over the box.

This idea of flash pages fading in and out and sections just shrinking out is an idea i would have liked to use but i felt that due to time restraints it would be quicker and easier to produce a html page. Another reason a choose html over flash is just due it being more search engine friendly and being able to refine the site more with the coding and keywords.
