Final Worksheet

Develop Your Idea

My idea and for my final website is to create a website exploring the realm of food and recipes. Because I already created a more serious portfolio website for the midterm, I wanted to challenge myself to make something creative, fun, and explorative.

Discovery and Research

In the process of searching for websites I like, I discovered Epicurious & Pinch of Yum. Both of these websites still embody a fairly traditional take to building websites, but are able to incorporate a level of creativity that other food websites don't (Ex. The NYT).

One thing I liked about Epicurious is the easy and simple navigation right when you enter the website, I also like how the search bar appears at the very top. With a recipe website, I feel like user experience is especially important because people are normally coming to the site with a specific recipe in mind or to become inspired to cook something.

Pinch of Yum is another website I was inspired by, mainly for their use of visuals, and photots throughout. In addition to user experience being very important, photos to display the food are equally important. With Pinch of Yum, they use the photos as links to the recipes, and I'm hoping I can mimic something similar to create a clean and sleek feel.

Target Your Audience

My audience for this website will be people who are searching for recipes, looking for inspiration, or simply just going to a playful interface. I want my recipe website to be a fun experience for users, that will leave them wanting to come back to the website again when they are in need of a recipe! I also want to make sure my website has a warm and soft feel to it, featuring lots of color an rounder designs.
