Website Analysis
Pastry Chef Joseph Johnson
Joseph Johnson is a pastry chef. His online portfolio site is located at
The layout of the homepage is two columns with a nice, short slogan. Joseph’s education and experience are organized in bullet points. The image in the background spans the width of the main content area, and continues to the bottom of the homepage. The site is pretty clean and organized apart from the over-powering background image, and I like the simplicity of the inner pages.The inner pages are also nicely organized making it easy on the eye to follow the content.
Rolf’s Patisserie
Rolf’s Patisserie is a gourmet European style bakery located just outside of Chicago. Overall, there is a clear influence of European style with the use of the images and typeface in the logo. It also works as a good contrast against the soft color scheme. Rotating images are used in the header on the homepage. The navigation bar looks professional and gives clear direction as to what is contained within the links. The logo, however it isn’t clickable (taking me back to the home page as I would expect), which can be quite annoying to a web savvy audience.
Delectable Desires
You are immediately struck by the gorgeous header design and along with the use of color. The website is focused on European style cakes created by Carlene O’Garro. The sidebar is simple but effective displaying images. Page naming has not been done on this site.
