Week Thirteen, Stefaniak

I think this website, poetryfoundation.org, is extremely successful in its use of grids and hierarchy in its web design. Each section in the navigation bar is appropriately titled in a color that contrasts the subdivisions of each title, and they're equally spaced according to the grid system. The meat of the website, the center, is also nicely designed, leading to a very effective and easy to navigate website that's perfect for newcomers and seasoned visitors alike. Along with the website's coherence and clarity in hierarchy, the colors lend themselves to a calming and serene, yet classy design. It's one of my more favored websites to visit.

  1. The use of grids on this page is very obvious and clearly worked well on the site. Lots of grids and the containers within fit perfectly.

  2. I definitely like this website because everything is well organized by using boxes and colors of background is simple that make the context more sophisticated. I personally like how the background color of middle box is white which gets more of my attention.
