Mid Valley City

Mid Valley City Website


Mid Valley is conceived to be an alternative city centre by the year 2010 with a total city offer within a self-contained environment with superb connectivity, offering seamless, rewarding experiences to all visitors and occupants of Mid Valley. The main building or spot in Mid Valley City are Northpoint, Cititel Hotel, Boulevard Hotel, Menara IGB, Boulevard Office, Centrepoint, The Gardens, and Mid Valley Megamall.

-Design-

The design of the website is quite boring, actually the thumbnails are beautiful pictures but it's too small and with low quality, they don't really use it wisely. The arrangement of the website is quite messy and imbalanced, I can say. The logo is between the navigation bar (location) and the map which 2 of these are related. The hierarchy is not planned well and all the text size are almost the same, so I see no difference between navigation, headline or paragraph.

-Information Design-

There are 4 links on the bottom left in the main page, all the pages when we click inside, the design is all are not consistent. There are no visible "Home" links, user might get lost. Some website might use logo as their home link, but for the 4 links that I mentioned, the logo appeared in different position in every different links and even missing in the last link. But it's good about the flash map although the visual not very nice, it shows the location easier. The last thing that I want to cover is the text, those are just very basic font type but they're using images for the text so all the text are not selectable. For those user who want to copy some information from it, it's not very user friendly then.
