First of all, I'm assign to redesign the Centro Salon website. As below, there are some of the screen shots example of centrosalon website interface :
 |
| Home_page |
 |
| collections_page |
 |
| contact_us |
 |
| menu_page |
 |
| profile_page | |
 |
| teams_page |
Below are some of the problem i discovered through this website.
Home_page : only images, kind of boring
Profile_page : should add some images to attract user
Team_page : text are too close together. should clearly introduce the team member in a better way
Collection_page : only catologs. should link the catolog to a readable catolog
Publication_page : same_
Contact_page : lack of map location, different outlets address and etc.
You are welcome to have a look on the actual website through
http://www.centrohairsalon.my/
Below are some of the website examples that i have researched to have a better point of view on how to create a better website interface.
1. Kimarie Hair Salon www.kimarie.com.my
About us_page
Kimarie webpage has interesting interface where it includes
images and others to
attract reader to read. but yet i think its still a bit wordy. Same goes to
Centro webpage, its has too many
boring text where user wont be bother to read that.
Collection_page
Kimarie webpage produce a better interface where it include
small boxes of images to convenience the user to have a look on their collections. Where as
Centro webpage, its just some of the catalogs shown . Its boring and i find there is
no point showing the jpge of an catalog where user wont get any info from that. For my opinion,
adding some links so that user can be able to read the catolog or etc..
Home_page
Kimarie webpage added
images and
interesting typography to
create the interest of the website. Where
Centro webpage only contain model images where
user hardly know that they are actually in the
homepage.
Latest news_page
Kimarie webpage contain a Latest news page to always
update their consumers regarding their services and others. I think this is very important to
always keep your user update in order to make the website alive.
Location_page
There are many outlets shown there and there are
more information given compared to the Centro webpage. And i think they should also
add a map or a
linking map to Google map to direct and make their consumers
convenience.
2. NyChair Salon www.nychairsalon.com
Contact_page
Nychair salon webpage :
- they includes the
form and also
working hour
- contain
fast link to convenience their user so that they can
straight away click on it to go to the other page instead of rolling all the way up then only get to click on it to proceed.
Friends_page
They also
introduce you to some other professionals hair salon and hairstylist so that user can have an idea which is better and which is suitable for themselves.
Just a simple click on the link,
then it will lead user to the website given.
Home_page
I personally like the
typography used. It shows a very
classic and elegant where it is suitable for Centro salon website because Centro salon is belongs to a classic environment
. Besides, it also
show the picture of the environment in their salon and i think that is what user wanted to see on.
Home2_page
Besides, they also
introduce user to their famous hairstylist at the very beginning so that user can have an idea what it is all about.
Gallery_page
Boxes of images on their environments and their outlets to give a clearly view to the user.
3. Aveda Beauty Salon http://www.salon.net/index.html
First of all, the special part of the website is that it is divided to different portions so it can convenience the user and also gets to lead the user well on that.
Award_page
This website
introduce the awards that they achieved.
And it is all
clearly stated with date, where and etc. This may
build the confident of consumer to go to your salon for a better cut.
Home_page
Introducing on their salon and also
images added. But i think it can be better by reducing the text.
Spa_page
Full of informations and also images given. Besides, it also provide fast link to the user to click on so that it can lead them to the link given to have a clearer view on what is that they are introducing about.
Teams_page
Team images are clearly stated and also their
positioning are clearly stated.
Team2_page
So, when you click on any of them, it will pops out the profile of everyone of them and also bits of their portfolio.
4. Carmel Day Spa and Salon
http://www.carmeldayspa.com/index.html
Contact_page
- includes
map
-
fast link for example by
giving their contact number and they have a little link beside where you can straight away email them or etc.
- fast link on viewing their gallery on contact page itself, and also on learn more about us page.
Home_page
They
attracts user by
adding the promotions menu on the very beginning. This can easily create the interest of the consumers.
Intro_page
They
introduce the services and also the
pricing of their stuff clearly and
easy to understand.

All package are clearly stated with the price clearly stated as well. They also convince consumer why they need this package so much with some nice convincing words.
