C O M P E T I T O R R E S E A R C HDECIBAL FESTIVAL
First Impression:
Overall it is well designed. They have a main slideshow on the home page and news, upcoming events, features, and spotlights.
Content Organization/Navigation:
The main page isn’t crammed with too much infor-mation. They highlight all the relevant content people would most likely look for. It’s respon-sive and easy to navigate.
Appearance:
The overall appearance is well done and connects well with the music and venues they have. The darker colors and accents of red give you a feel for what their shows are like. They use large images to grab your attention with their slide-show to their featuring artists.
C O M P E T I T O R R E S E A R C HCOACHELLA
First Impression:
At first glance it’s not a very eye-catching. They do have an interesting banner at the top that gives a great visual of the festival and it also changes from day to night depending on when you access the site.
Content Organization/Navigation:
The pages are organized pretty well with a grid format. The type seems a little small when there is a lot of information to read about the festi-val, but other than that the pages are all con-sistent and easy to navigate.
Appearance:
Overall, it seems a little more on the bland side, but at the same time the color choices and fonts seem to line up with the theme of the out-door venue.
C O M P E T I T O R R E S E A R C HBESTIVAL
First Impression:
There’s a flash page bombarded with animated il-lustrations…it’s a little much.
Content Organization/Navigation:
The organization is pretty good and not too hard to navigate, but there’s a lot of things to dis-tract you on the pages and there is more than one navigation bar on the top. There’s also more animation at the bottom of the page that doesn’t really serve any purpose.
Appearance:
Overall, the website is a little overkill. There’s a lot of illustrations going on in the background and at the bottom of the page and some of the illustrations are animated which is pretty distracting and is a lot for you’re eyes to look at all at one time. It takes away from the content of hte page.
C O M P E T I T O R R E S E A R C HBUGGED OUT WEEKENDER
First Impression:
Draws you in with color scheme and larger images.
Content Organization/Navigation:
Everything is really well organized with some artists, music, and news on the main page. The line up page is really organized with larger images and bold colorful text that is easy to read. There’s a top navigation and everything is consistent throughout.
Appearance:
The overall appearance is really eye-catching. There’s a bright color scheme with colorful shapes in the background and it changes slightly on different pages. The main content is laid out in the center of the page in a grid format which makes it look well put together.
C O M P E T I T O R R E S E A R C HWHAT THE FESTIVAL
First Impression:
Interesting graphics grab your attention and the moving squares on a large image on the home page.
Content Organization/Navigation:
There is an interesting layout for the top navi-gation with a checkered-type design whichv adds to the site visually, yet is still easy to read and navigate. The navigation stays consistent and everything is organized mostly in boxes.
Appearance:
The overall appearance is great because it’s different, with its navigation bar and the graphic elements stay consistent throughout the site, yet are not too distracting from the con-tent.

Lately her career has been demanding and busy but she's always able to find time to have some fun around the city.

Pearse is a student at the University of San Francisco in their Environmental Studies undergraduate program. He's lived in the Bay Area his whole life. He lives in a house near USF with his friends and spends his summers there too. He always strives to have the best summers between each school year.
Besides his main interest in the environment, he also has a passion for music. Fellow students always see him wearing headphones around campus. He has a few friends who are aspiring DJs and electronic music producers, but Pearse only supports them and doesn't do what they do. He mainly listens to the genre and loves going to shows and music festivals. He's not heavily into the rave-scene; he goes to concerts for the sole purpose of the music and a good time. His favorite websites are Soundcloud, Beatport and Spotify.

THIS COULD POTENTIALLY PASS AS A REAL WEBSITE FOR A REAL FESTIVAL. I LOVE IT!
Other comments EVERYTHING LOOKED REALLY NICE AND THERE WERE NOT MANY ISSUES.
IT'S VERY PROFESSIONAL BUT AT THE SAME TIME SEEMS LIKE A WEBSITE FOR AN EVENT LIKE THAT. I LIKED IT.
GREAT COLOR SCHEME
IT WAS NOT THAT CLEAR WHEN THE CONCERT WAS IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ITS HIDDEN IN THE CORNER.
WHEN I WAS ON THE "HOME" PAGE AND CLICKED HOME IT WENT TO AN ALTERNATIVE PAGE. A CONTACT PAGE FOR THE WEBSITE CREATORS.
ON THE HOME PAGE WHY NOT HAVE THE TEXT OF THE TITLE BE THE LINK. FOR EXAMPLE BE ABLE TO CLICK "INTERVIEW: SLOW MAGIC" AND LINK TO THAT WEBSITE.
IT IS KIND OF STRANGE THAT THERE IS NO DESCRIPTION OF WHAT EQUINOX IS.
THE HOMEPAGE VIDEO IS A BIT SLOW TO LOAD AND I AM ON A 45MB CONNECTION SO NOT SURE WHAT THE HANG UP IS ON LOADING. *
* NOT SURE IF THE DIAMOND REPRESENTS OR IS PART OF THE EQUINOX LOGO BUT IT JUST SEEMS OUT OF PLACE. THE MAIN VIDEO THAT LOADS PLAYS THE FIRST TIME THROUGH BUT THEN YOU CAN’T HIT THE PLAY BUTTON THAT GETS DISPLAYED AFTER 1X TIME THROUGH. YOU MIGHT WANT TO JUST REPEAT CONTINUALLY.
THERE IS DEAD SPACE ON BOTH THE RIGHT/LEFT SIDES (THE DARK GRAY AREA) THAT YOU EITHER MAY WANT TO RESIZE THE VIDEO TO ACCOMMODATE OR THAT YOU MIGHT POSSIBLY DISPLAY THE LOGO DIFFERENTLY OR SOMETHING.
THE TICKETS NAV ON THE LEFT IS OBVIOUS FOR GETTING TICKET INFO, I THINK THAT “BUY TICKETS” BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE IS A BIT LOST AND HONESTLY COULD BE DONE AWAY WITH AND JUST USE THE “TICKETS” NAV ON THE LEFT.
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE WHITE ON AQUA/TURQUOISE SECTIONS.
PAGE TITLES ARE GOOD BUT THE URLS ARE A BIT CRYPTIC.
OVERALL I FOUND THE SITE YOU CREATED VERY ORGANIZED AND USER FRIENDLY. I REALLY LIKE WHOLE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE STRUCTURE. I'M NOT A BIG FAN THOUGH OF THE PICTOGRAM NAVIGATION MENU JUST BECAUSE I'M SO USED TO TEXT LINKS.
YOU DON’T NEED PERIODS AFTER 18+ AND 21+ ON TICKETS PAGE. NEWS PAGE TYPO “ON TRIAL”, INFO PAGE TYPO “WRITSTBANDS VOID”.
I LOVE IT! I WANT TO GO TO THIS FESTIVAL, I WISH IT WAS REAL! THE MAIN VIDEO IS REALLY GREAT AND SO IS THE TYPE AND SHAPE LOGO. I THINK THE SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE RIGHT AND THE DATE ON THE TOP RIGHT AND THE NAVIGATION ON THE LEFT LOOKS GOOD. THE WEBSITE LOADED VERY WELL FOR THE MOST PART. I LOVE THE THREE IMAGES BELOW THE HOMEPAGE VIDEO AND THE WAY THE ELEMENTS STACK AT PHONE SIZE IS REALLY GREAT. GOOD JOB!
BLACK AND WHITE WAS NICE.
INCORPORATED ON EACH PAGE.
VERY EASY TO FIND.
EASY ACCESS TO EACH PAGE.
BLACK/WHITE WITH POPS OF COLOR.
EXCELLENT.
PERFECT PLACEMENT!
MADE ME WANT TO BUY TICKETS IN 5 SECONDS!
GOOD USE OF ICONS FOR THE NAVIGATION.
INFO PAGE SEEMED WAY MORE COLORFUL AND OUT OF PLACE IN COMPARISON TO THE REST OF THE SITE.
UP TO PAR WITH ANY MUSIC FESTIVAL WEBSITE.
SOME GALLERY PICTURES ARE PIXELATED.
I REALLY LIKED IT! NOW I JUST WANT TO GET TO A SHOW.
SOME OF IT SEEMS A LITTLE HARD TO READ.
COULD USE A DESCRIPTION OF THE FESTIVAL.
GOOD CHOICE OF COLOR SCHEME.
U S A B I L I T Y T E S T I N G : A N A LY S I SMost users had a positive reaction to our website. People liked the color schemes and the layout. They found the navigation was easy to find and was consistent.
There were some troubles with some of the pages loading a little slower like the homepage video and the line up page, but with adjustments in the jQuery (like combining jQuery files and linking to the script directly on ajax.googleapis.com, rather than adding the file to the website) it was able to be fixed. Some people found the type and some of the colors made it a little more difficult to read, mainly on the light blue background, some didn’t mind it.
Also, some people commented on the homepage and how the video had gray space on both sides and wanted it to fill the page on the desktop. The video does fill the page on iPad, but for desktop we don’t want to run the risk of users with large monitors overwhelmed with the video taking up their screen (not to mention it would be very pixelated at that size). Some people wanted to see a more clear description of the festival as well. There was almost an equal amount of people who loved the secondary Equinox shape over the homepage video and who didn’t like it.
Based on our usability testing, many bugs and issued were fixed - from large jQuery fixes to small typos found in the body copy. Overall, people thought the website was a great fit for a music festival and many wished it was real so they could buy tickets!
