PAP Website
SDP Website
RP Website
WP Website
SPP Website
NSP Website
No pictures for comparison is empty talk.
Take a good look at the above political websites...
and I'd attached the sites ranking accordingly to web functionality & aesthetics.
1. PAP
In terms of web interactive and color usage.
PAP site had scored quite well.
They had placed the most impt news on the top left corner...
followed by secondary news at the bottom.
Interactive news are on the right side, easier for readers to click.
The top bar menu are quite sufficient ...
not too less buttons
not too much buttons.
The only gripe is the top banner.
Less cluttered image for the top banner will enhance the overall look.
and add a tone down background color will make the white text area stand out.
2. SDP
In terms of web functionality, SDP scored quite well too.
The have the top/impt stories at the top left corner and interactive on the right.
The color usage is ok.
Using earth color as background, the white text are will stand out.
Lucky they neber use their party color RED as background....
else it will looks like CNY.
However, the only gripe is their top menu bar.
Too many buttons on the top.
They should refocus their priority..of their sections buttons as main navigation. And the rest of it will sink to the bottom right corner.
3. Reform Party Website
Like someone said, the color usage is too cartoonish.
Perhaps the web designer wanna use the logo color as their main corporate
web color...but in this case, the colors doesn't justify for its political purpose.
Look at SDP, logo is red...doesn't mean the site color must use red.
As for menu bars & interactive....they need to work on it.
more images for sub columns.
4. Workers Party Website
Unfortunately for WP, they have credible team but a site like this will
ruin their overall image.
The site color usage is so blue.....and you can't help it feeling blue too....:o
The top menu bar need to reorganise and crossword puzzle shouldn't be there.....Don't waste your top important corners for such entertainment.
5. SPP Website
Sigh...i think the site is done by a programmer rather than a web designer.
it is just too bare....no interactive nor images to interest me to read further.
Overhaul revamp immediately!!!!!
6. NSP Website
What they need to do is.....punch in more images & interactive.
Not just a WALL OF TEXT site.
Since English is the main language....use 1 will do.
If you wanna to reach out the chinese voters, have an option.
English | chinese.
If not, this gives an impression to the minority race voters that this is a
chinese clan political group.....no doubt chinese is the majority of the voters.
Overhaul revamp immediately!!!!!
A website is important in today context...unlike our parents time.
Most of us are working longer, and lesser time for leisure.
If the website is poorly done, very few will bother to read...
Remember....first impression counts.
2ndly, when you have interesting visuals, people will bother to click
the link and read further. See SDP as a good example.
They have a brief writeup for each story...couple with a nice image.
if you wanna read further...just click read more.
This give readers a glance of the overall topics.
Lastly, interactive video or interviews are relevant in the web2.0 era.
Just text alone is not good enough.
People wanna see the "real action going on" and not just chunk of text.
Elderly might tolerate wall of text...but youngsters don't.
You don't reward them with interactive media, they will just ignore ur site.
Thatz my quick 10mins summary.
Thanks for reading this wall of text.
:p
