I chose to analyse Love Film because I think it has a good level of interactivity and is simple to work your way around if you only want a quick visit.
It is important for a site to be easy to use and.... OK the real reason is because I like to rent films, but it does actually work very well. It uses the 'inverted L' that is so commonly used on websites and, with subtle red and white colouring make it very easy on the eye.
The site is consistent throughout, i.e. clickable links are in light blue and underlined so you can spot them straight away, reducing un-necessary time.
Another interesting feature of this site is when you hover over titles on the home page it brings up a brief synopsis so there is no need to navigate away from the page.
The site is split into five main categories which are always at the top of the page: Home, Browse Titles, My Rental List, Magazine, Shop. These are then split into many sub-categories, which means that you never have to go through more than three pages to get to what you want, making a very simple, yet well organised structure.
Overall there is nothing that really stands out on lovefilm.com but it all comes together to be very easy to use. I hope to be able to incorporate some of the ideas that make it so user-friendly when it comes to making my own website.
