Mcdonalds Website Review.

McDonalds website.

http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/

The layout of the site is good, very clean and everything as its own place and is easy to see where the information you want is, the navigation is average but blends in with the background a little bit.



The layout of the site stays the same over the whole of the site which is good as the user doesn’t loose track of where the information is.

The site is Flash based and shows some good use of this in forms of image slides and surveys that take in the information on what you think about the food and ingredients of the food and it also used in the navigation which is one the downfalls of the site, when the navigation is clicked on a dropdown menu appears which then pushes the main information down the screen and if your using the bottom navigation at the same time the main information is covered up. The bottom menu automatically appears once the main navigation is clicked upon which gets annoying after a while as you have to keep closing it to see what information you are looking for.





Going further into the site there is a restaurant locater which again is Flash based, it doe’s work very well and as a filter which means you can narrow down your search depending on your needs and area.



There is good use of pictures to keep the balance between text and imagery and this is easy on the eye and keeps the user interested in the site, the images are also relevant to the content of the site.

All in all the site is good but could be improved in parts, the parts that could be improved are not major but the site would benefit from them.
