Answers

  1. My first impression was that it seemed very professional, albeit a little homemade.

  2. The website organized their information by adding a jump menu near the top of the page that linked to information about their pastries.

  3. The site's structure was very comprehensive and easy to navigate.

  4. The graphics added to the professional minimalism of the overall website. The designer chose really good pictures that made me regret the fact that the cafe is located in another state.

  5. The home page, and even the extra pages, loaded very quickly

  6. The text was a bit hard to read. Even though the black text stood out against the white background, the font size was quite small and thin. I also think the white background color could've been changed to an off-white, just so it doesn't strain the reader's eyes.

  7. The website did have a navigation bar. The navigation was well done, with links to the cafe's Shopify, directions on google maps, the menu and contacts.

  8. The website had a consistent theme all throughout the pages. Its color scheme was white, black, and pops of a red-ish pink.

  9. The main website does not get resized in a smaller window. It is still usable, but you have to scroll to read everything on the page.

  10. Every time you click on one of the pages showing what type of delicacies they offer, the picture shown gets randomized with every refresh. I found that very cool when I noticed it.
