Month: April 2024

The Seattle area non-profit I chose for my donation is a little place called the “Bikery” located in the Central District.

The Bikery is a place for the community to bring their bikes in to be repaired with the help of a volunteer: get as much or as little help as you need with any bike issues. You can use any of their tools but they do as for a donation of 5 – 15 dollars per hour to use the space and repair your bike but no one will be turned away for not having the funds to donate.

I think a place like this is important because a safe bicycle can be a lifeline for so many, especially for those who can’t afford a car or even bike repairs. I think it’s important to keep people moving on two wheels and have a place for people to mingle and chat about everything bike. The Bikery has been around since 2005!

You can become a volunteer of the Bikery or a member or both

Admittedly I didn’t do the best job on the whole concept but nonetheless here is my Stanley Dog Bowl. My campaign’s slogan is, “feel like a winner with your cup” … Everyone thinks their dog is special, you’re probably not the only one at the dog park with a “good boy” … You need to show the world that you’re the best dog owner there is with this huge 200 oz cup to feed and hydrate your dog in any occasion! Unlock so much potential!

So the 3 websites I chose are:

https://www.phixclothing.com/en-us/collections/clothing

https://www.aarp.org

https://rollingstones.com/

1. Phix Clothing’s website immediately show you products available when you enter the site.

I suppose this company is based out of England but being in the US it has a little American Flag on the top of the nav bar

The top nav bar never changes no matter what page you’re on

2. AARP‘s site is a little messy, as soon as you click “What We Do” on the top nav bar it directs you to another page so the navigation isn’t seamless.

The signature red is easy to read, they have an enormous “Join” and “Renew” button on the site which directs you to similar looking pages. To someone who doesn’t use the internet often it might be a bit confusing.

I like that the site chose to do a bold font on all the articles to someone with impaired vision could see it better.

3. My final site is The Rolling Stones website. Oh did you know they’re touring and they’ll be in Seattle in May? First thing I noticed is that the tour is sponsored by AARP when you enter the site that’s what you’ll see along with a cool logo.

Not seamless experience when you push on the button to shop for Stones merch on the top nav bar you get a whole other tab with a different looking website.

Same when you press on the “Access All Areas” button the website layout completely changes. Almost doesn’t seem like it’s part of the site.
