Corporate Website - McDonalds

McDonalds


About the company

McDonald's Corporation is the world's largest chain of fast food restaurants, primarily selling hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakes and desserts. More recently, it also offers salads, fruit, snack wraps, and carrot sticks. The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by siblings Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California.

Personal Experience

Personally don't really like this website, and quite disappoint of it, wondering it really is the official corporate website of McDonalds. It took much time loading and it's very laggy. The website is very squarish for the content and it already like has a box for it, nothing is out of the box. Since they're using flash but they don't fully use of the space and everything.The font is all Arial and it's very boring, and the navigation, colour,images and font, everything is like not merged.

Color Scheme

The colour is very boring and slightly unprofessional, and I don't think it brings the product out from the colour in the website. McDonald supposingly to have a merry and lively colour but I don't feel it at all in this website.

Grid System



This is 1 column grid system which centralize everything. The very main navigation is actually in the content itself, this is not very good that if everytime when we're in different pages the main navigation change position or whatever. There's is no a main navigation which appear in every single page to hold the entire website, user might get lost.
