quiksilver's website

URL: http://au.quiksilver.com/

At the first time you go to this website you will notice that they will ask you "where are you?" place...to have an idea of what content that suitable to your location....yes..this is a obviously an international-known brand....Quiksilver is a brand that mostly ofering a products that related to a teenage-life (t-shirs, denims, and all) with the extreme sports (skateboard, surf, and all)...

Screenshot for the "where are you?" page....choose one...



This website..looking from its content..is so well organize...as i told tou before it even separating their products based on where the users are...so the users wont encounter the "sorry this products not available in your area" page...which is very annoying....All the menu that you need to access to their products is located in the top of every page...using drop-down menu to make it simple...yet effective way to save a space in overall design...and the user will easily get what they want..simply just by one...or two clicks away...Eventhough its a boxy kind of layout...but still it not static...because of the image that keep on changing every few seconds...but unfortunately its only for the main menu...Another things that good about this website's main menu is it has a direct link to the promotional item by them...so that we will never get out-dated in term of they new products...

Typography...fonts quite easy too read...not to big, not too small...but they got 1 fatal mistake, on the gallery page some part of the text are overlaping with the picture..totally cannot read.. -____-" hope they fix it sooner....

Basicly they devide the page in to two part...top and bottom...where they put all the content on the bottom part...and the supporting image as well as the menu logo and all that stuff on the top part..

Screenshot for the home page...



There you see..text overlaping with the image...



One of my favorit part that atract me in a website is if they have a playlist on it...to suit the mood when you go to their page...and this website DO have a playlist inside...but again.....error.....the text overlaping (again!) with the flash music player image....man.. -___-

Screenshot...see lah..



Besides all those error thingy, i like this website because of the simple plain white background..and the image choosen...really reflecting the characteristic of the products...which is free, young-energy, and style....
