Site Design of Designmyroom.com
Structure
Designmyroom web site has a clear and consistent organizational structure. Each hypertext link clearly describes where it's taking you and it's easy to return to the home page. Horton and Lynch say the simplest way to organize information is to place it in a sequence especially for training sites (Basic Information Structure). Considering this is a training based web site it reflects Horton and Lynch's theory. The products and community page allows users to browse categories by products, appliances, brands, and household rooms. Organizing the links in sequence makes it easy to navigate. Images of elaborate rooms heighten innovation and motivate users to design their personal design boards.
Theme
Designmyroom's theme is community. Users have the facility to share designs, ideas, and projects. This web site gives users the ability to be interior decorators with a click of a mouse. Many people may have desires to be designers and designmyroom gives users the access to design. The site uses positive vocabulary to make viewers feel welcomed and apart of a community.
