Monster Energy Review

         Today energy drinks were on my mind and so I will be reviewing www.monsterenergy.com. Monster energy drinks came about in 2002 and have become very successful throughout the coming years. They now have over 25 different kinds of energy drinks and have now become incredibly popular with teens to young adults.

         When I go to Monsters home page I am greeted with a large ad that changes every couple of seconds. I like this technique because it catches my attention quickly and keeps me interested. All of the ads match the background color of the page and don't look out of place. The tabs at the top of the page provides easy navigation and neat organization. If you scroll down the page you will see that all of the content stays in the middle of the page, making it easy for eyes to navigate through the page. Letting the viewer focus their attention on a majority of the content without overwhelming them. A little ways down the home page you can see a "Follow Monster Energy" box on the right with buttons linking to social media sites such as facebook, twitter, youtube, google plus, etc. They also have a pop up on their pictures so that when you hover over them you can link to more social media. All in all  Monster incorporates social media all over their site to try and attract your attention. I wouldn't do anything to change the site, there's nothing wrong with it. I would recommend others to come here because it doesn't just focus on the energy drink, they seem to have a little something for everyone.

S & J Motors Review

         This weeks site that caught my attention is car-biz.com. Car-biz is actually S & J Motors, it is a car dealership located in Merrimack, NH.  They sell used cars for reasonable prices and is where I bought my first car.
          I like how they have the top navigation bar a different color than the main page, it provides contrast and makes it easier to see the differences between the two navigation bars. I also like how their main page is shrunk so that your eyes don't have to search the whole page to find the cars. Another thing I like is how they organized their cars on the main page. They have them neat and organized so that it is easy get a quick look at some of their inventory. I wouldn't change anything about this website, one thing I might consider changing is the two navigation bars. They don't really bother me, but it might be troublesome for someone else. I would encourage others to go here if they live in the area because it is a really great dealership, and their website is pretty good. One thing I would note about them is that you shouldn't assume that the cars on their website is their full inventory. They have so many people that are interested in their cars that they don't have enough time to put their full inventory on their website because the cars sell so fast.

comcast.net review

         For this website review I will be looking at www.comcast.net. Comcast is one of the many sites and or businesses that I have an email account with. I find that their site is very interesting to go to because its not just for email, they have news, home security, voice mail, and much more.

         I feel that this site is good for many reasons, one of them being their home page setup. I like how everything is broken up into different section with boxes. It makes the site very easy to navigate through and keeps the page neat and clutter free. Another good thing about the site is the navigation bar at the top of the page. It makes it easy for the viewer to travel through the website. The scrolling ad box at the top of the page is eye catching and usually gets my attention every time I go their. I think this is a good marketing strategy because when you are looking at the page you are not expecting movement and so when something moves your eyes get drawn to it. I wouldn't do anything to change the webpage, it looks and feels good as it is. I would want others to come here because the site is similar to a one stop shop for everything I'm looking for.
