Interesting website with analysis

After the tutorial websites, here is the interesting websites that I found.

 There is one website that I like it the most which is AquaCP.

I found this design company website when I was doing my research of user interface during last semester. 

 This website is not only to introduce their company but they also made an interactive animation to describe something like the unlimited ideas and creativeness of their designers.

 AquaCP also uses comfortable colours in their animation to proceed viewers friendly and this is the one that attract people the most.

This website also gives user-friendly through the simple task bars below the site. 

Next, the Nerisson.

It is a personal portfolio website by a france designer.

It has an interesting interface with the hexagonal buttons to proceed to present the admin's portfolio.

 

The portfolios are clearly shown with beautiful design and colours. There were also a description button at the bottom left to enable viewers can understand more about the portfolio.

 Nerrison website designed the page with shapes and forms to represent the unique styles of his.

But the problem is this site takes my couple of seconds for loading to proceed to the next page.

The third website is The Games We Played.

It is an companion website that proceeding a Singapore's Memory Project.

The site interface uses grid button method with large alphabet letters to enter the next interface.

This site uses interesting comfortable colours for viewers friendly. 

It also made simple and nice animation at the banner.

This website also given a simple description of every games in past so that the youngster can understand the games clearly. 

Lastly, the fourth website is LetsDoThis.

It is a charity website that asks for donation to give a helping hand to the cancer sufferers.

The overall design of this site is well organized with simple designs and able to 

emphasize the main point.

They used comfortable colours with large typography to enlarge what they want to say and the main purpose for their campaign.

They also used a creative way to let the users willing to proceed the donation by listing the amount for donation on each category. 

It has an interactive way by opening the door to let the users proceed the donation procedure. 

That is all my analyzing of the 4 interesting website. :)
