On my first post here, I’m going to have a look at Wataniya’s new website (www.wataniya.mv) which was released few weeks back. I like the idea, but feels poorly implemented. Here are my opinions about the website.

General Website Layout.

  • Website seems to be more single paged. Because it wont let you navigate to any other page on the website. Single-page design works if you don’t have much content.
  • The orb on the top with the clouds looks beautiful on my screen (1920 x 1080px) . Because the orb is complete from both sides. But if you try it on a 1024px resolution, it look odd, because of the incomplete orb.
  • No grid layout and components on the website poorly placed.
