Website Research.

The websites I looked at too give me ideas  on how mine should be set or laid out. and what the current styles are in fashion. These websites are also bicycle store websites which i would like to create as well.. they all have similar layouts which show that its what in fashion or what the marketed customers would be used too

Evans cycle page : http://www.evanscycles.com/



I think the website page is a bit to cluttered. , although the images that make it look cluttered are also sales and from a business point of view draw in a customers. increasing the chance of a sale.
How ever I find the writing on the page too small on most parts, like the product list, and the main links.
the logo / company name is shown on the top left of the page, and still does not stand out very much even though its the  where logos are normally located








Cycle store web page : http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/




This is the middle of  both websites having   the standard things like a search bar. logo on the  top left which is the universal place for logos in my opinion . their is a category list on the side and a search bar which seems to be in most the websites i look at . their logo is very nicely placed and is more interesting because it over laps on to another part of the page.
they also advertise their sales in their very top strip having sales written all over it. although not looking as sleek as some other websites it has everything it should and more .
the colour scheme is a bit bland bus still nice .also nothing is too in your face on this website which will not deter customers.













Bonthrone bikes  page : http://www.bonthronebikes.co.uk/

This web page to me in nice, nothing to in your face force feeding you to buy something which i think that customers would like.
Also it shows products/ deals on the first page which would rise interest. the layout is fairly simple to get around and the logo is located in the usual area .
having the feature of a search bar seems fairly standard for these websites and is useful if you know what you  are looking for. it also has a small strip for adverts at the side which would be useful for bringing in a little more money or even showing off deals.
over all I like this lay out more then the rest simple but very effective i'm my opinion . also the colour scheme is attractive and visual satisfying.





These have given me things to take into consideration and  what is standard in a website. i will be referring to these websites when creating to my own . these are successful business's so their websites are well made for their customers need which is something I must take into consideration .
