Site review

Hive Chicago -- 

Overall, I liked the design of the website. It seemed simple enough to follow through, and mimicked a lot of the websites we've been looking at. The menu bar is the typical drop-down menu, but something I really liked is that once you click the menu bar, the sub-menu categories permanently show up on the right corner. Another thing I liked about the site was the "Portfolio" page. I liked how when you filter through, it highlights the specified links while keeping the other ones as ghosts.
There were some parts that are repetitive (ex: repeated goals+missions on main "Hive Chicago" page and "Hive Chicago Goal" page). In addition, I was hoping to be directed to other pages when clicking on the orange-linked "Partner Organizations (http://hivechicago.org/portfolio/hive-youth-council/), but it seemed to just refresh the page.. Maybe it's just me?


Stockyard --

(Images took a while loading). In the beginning, I really enjoyed the simplicity of the "Missions" page, but then I was hoping to see how this is met through what they do. A part of me feels like the "About" page and the main page somewhat describe it, but I felt like a clear explanation of the "how" would've been good to see. I think the menu bar's categories seem to all fall under "About" and that the main aspect of the page is the first page. I wish there was an archive list of categories to be able to filter throughout the main page, though.


Museum Two -- 

Nina Simon's "What Is Museum 2.0?" page (http://museumtwo.blogspot.com/2006/12/what-is-museum-20.html) really helped better explain what the website is. I skimmed through a lot of the titles and keywords, which helped guide what ideas framed the site. (I really enjoyed some of her titles and examples). I also liked how she included a section of blogs/bloggers that she views.
