Analiyse a website for designer called BetaClan (Danny Kamhaji). This analyse i will mainly focus on the website's content planing and navigation.
This website devided into 5 sections.. The 1st is a main page, where all the things started. As you can see in the screenshot below, the navigation type is using flash animation to add on some rollover animation.
The design itself is looks like a map of a field, that have a sections sections in it, each section represent each page, for example see the screenshot below..
This screenshotshowing you the rollover fx.. It will have something popup from the ground to indicate the page inside, and the next screenshot will show you the exapmple of the page inside..
Ok, enough talking about design, lets move on to the navigation. The website's subtitle -A Music Project By Danny kamhaji- give you enough clue to know what this site will offer.
As i mentioned earlier, this website devided by 5 sections, which is: "main" page, "bio" page, "music" page, "mix" page, "links" page. The designer of this site think carefully in the web structure planning. Not too much content, but still can speak confidentially for itself.
The main page servelike other main page in other websites, its a place to start your "journey" inside a website and it also contain "news" for a quick references for the user to know the latest update. But one thing i dont really get is why they put the "contact" link inthe main page, at the edge of the page, same colour with the background and not stand out at all.. It gives me an impressions of "i dont want people to give a feedback to me, so i put the contact link hidden in the page...main page..."
The next page is a bio page. Yes, it talking about the designer's profile. Showing you and giving you more detal information . And i think they more suitable put the contact link in this page. The graphic and content not really big, so it automatically create a "space" for a link to be seen.
The 3rd and 4th page i think where the main purposes are. Showcasing his mixed music. Where the user can listen to the music. This 2 pages is not really the same actually (its a tricky part for the designer to design..), because one is mainly about his music (music page) the other one is offering the user a track where they can download and mix they own self (mix page). This small detail and offer will eventually grab attention, because he inspired the user with his music than offer them like "wanna create one also?here i have a sample for you to start with.."
The last page -links page- is giving the user a links that he found interesting and have a contribution to this website, so maybe you want to check the out an get inspired by them also!
Thats the main flow this website in my opinions.
