sydney dance company site analysis

Sydney Dance Company .com


Technique: flash + html


Presentation:

Elements that reflect a sense of ‘performance’/ theater
Logo remains at the top left corner, and the word DANCE is creatively arranged in an up and down sequence to suggest movement of creativity and flair.

The site is confined in the rectangular shape that is centered to the left of the page for better view and easy access of information. This eliminates the need to scroll through the page using the side.

Initial darker shade of grey covers the main home page like a curtain wall. Upon clicking Enter, the grey shade withdraws from the center revealing the site’s background of a dancer. Another darker grey shade drops down within the site presenting menu bars, as upcoming touring shows and links on how to subscribe to the news about the company appears at the bottom of the page.

As you can see the menu bars expands related materials (or sub-menus) when the cursor is placed over it and they contract when the cursor is removed. In clicking on the submenus, we are redirected to respective pages, but the form of the page is lost. This is one of the downside of the site. There are 3 segments that display the information in the submenu- photo, name, and explanation. This sequential organization of the page provides feasibility in reading and understanding the data. As you can see the title constantly remains in its original location

footer links remains at the bottom of the page through surfing this site.
