Cute And Funny Pets Blog
Daily Pets is a fun website showing blog-style contributor photos and comments of cute pets. The blog has a unique and professional design.
With a fun theme of brightly coloured happy cartoon pets in a landscape, dailypets.co.uk appears fresh and distinctive with its design. While the design might appeal more to children, adults may get something from it too. The green cartoon design is consistent on all pages. The website has a two-column layout similar to a common blog with right navigation menu and is therefore appealing in its simplicity and looks easy to navigate. On the home page is photos of pets that readers have contributed and these are displayed in varying cuteness.
Downsides
Tabs for navigation at the top of the main white box may need a little work though – the text is quite close to the border of the box (it is cut off in the “About DailyPets” tab) and the tabs have a black outline around them while the box does not. This detracts from the overall professional looking design. Also, the white box curved corners don’t help the design and a green edge can be seen on the top right corner. A square box in line with the tabs (and with the black outline) would help consistency with the professional design and would still suit it.
The logo calls the site “Daily Pets” while the links are labelled “DailyPets” so these might need to be made consistent to make the name more memorable.
Navigation & Coding
Navigation occurs in two menus – the top tabs (with “Home”, “About DailyPets” and “Submission Guidelines” and the right column navigational menu with an assortment of links and ads by Google. Navigation is simple and easy to follow ). The search engine is for people who want 2 find other people's pets by name (like banhar, muur.. etc). It also has different advertising from other sites.
Coding is blog-type coding (html, css stylesheets and javascript). Loading time is reasonably fast.
Interesting pages.
The Kittens page had particularly nice contributor photos and you could certainly tell that people cared enough about their pets and Daily Pets to send along their best. (I love cats and kittens, but my parents wouldn't let my sister and i have one :(( ) The Puppies page is also adorable and the comments are brief, interesting and easy to read.
Oh and the blog. http://www.dailypets.co.uk/
