I have a thing for high fashion, and enjoy just looking at the new stock they bring, and the new fashion shows. By far my favorite website to look at it's Versace. Right away it captures you as you click on the site. It has big advertising on the home page, and you can view their latest fashion shows which makes for a great first impression on the website. The color scheme goes great with the Versace brand. Navigation is also great, and has plenty of sub-categories to filter most o the stuff you might not care for, but still show you stuff that you might not have known about. When something is out of stock you can put in our email to be alerted when it will be back on stock. I just used this feature for one of their watches today. The website easily provides customer service as on the top right there's a store locator tab, phone line tab and a "my account" tab on all pages. It's a great website, and I do prefer it a lot more than many other high fashion websites such as Gucci.
What might bother me the most on this website is that gray bar on the top that I just praised for being great as a customer service tool. I love the idea of it, but I hate their execution of making it gray. Maybe they did so that it stands out from the website and easily accessible. Another thing I believe could be improved is the length of the home page, I feel it's too long to scroll down, and should be shortened a bit. Also once you get at the very button you might not notice at the bottom right the "Help and Information tab" which pulls up the about us page and more. I don't like how easily the bottom right tab could be missed, and I'm a big fan of making sure the about us section, career, history, and that sort of things to be easily visible. Most website could be helped with a little tweaking, but most of the time it comes down to the creator's taste.

This website I go on to follow my favorite soccer team from Italy. It's all in Italian so directed to a specific group of people. The website does very well at covering news, and updates from such soccer team. It's a great tool for fans to stay up to date. It has the main story of the day right as you click on it, and on the right has the top 5 for the day, and has a tab where it shows the standings of all teams. It's easily navigable, and the color scheme goes well with the colors of the team. It has a lot of content which is great, and keeps fans going back to it since it's so constantly updated 24/7.
This website to me has one very big flaw which is way too many ads everywhere. I understand they try to make money on the website to keep it up and running, and pay everyone who works there, but I feel like the ads are way too much. The website even opens up another tab which is an ad every time you click on one of the link to navigate the website. It's annoying more than anything in my opinion. It shows bad ethics, and make it seem like they care more about the money than their fans. Companies, and website probably do care more about the money, but at least try to show that you care about your customer base. Also their contact us page is quiet lacking which might not be so big of a problem for a news website, but still should be a part of it in my opinion. All in all this website is great for news, and keeping up with the team, but as a website, and who runs it still has a lot to reach it's potential.
