CSS Zen Garden Critique



Let's Evaluate our Web Sites in Critique based on:


  • Hierarchy - Hierarchy of visual and text information - Where does your eye immediately get directed? Does it point you to the main information right away?
  • Typography - Are the fonts harmoniously occupying the space with one another? Does the font help communicate? This is crucial for a design with less emphasis on illustration or art.
  • Legibility - Is the text and the information/images legible i.e. an appropriate reading size, line spacing, etc.?
  • Consistency - Is the branding/images, colors, fonts, layout design etc. consistent throughout the page? Does everything occupy the space together harmoniously?
  • Contrast - Does the site provide adequate visual contrast for the best legibility? Also, visual hierarchy of contrast? Colors largely play a part here.
  • Usability - Does the CSS Redesign allow for the same usability as without the style?
  • Adherence to CSS Zen Garden Rules - Was the HTML left alone (with the exception of adding web fonts)? Did you use CSS and/or CSS3 for the redesign? Other types of code can support the design, but CSS/CSS3 should be the main tools used for the redesign.
  • You have the weekend to make changes to your site, and I will email you with feedback/suggestions for improvement.
