Why my site is unique
My site is unique because it stands mainly for just an informative resource. Also a person could find other sites that have information if they wanted to do official training. In the future I will post information if they want to train with me because of my background training with Muay Boran (ancient style). They will also be able to learn modern techniques that are associated with Muay Thai Boxing (modern style or ring style).
Site basics
My site will have on the homepage the different links that I will list in my folders list below. I will text explaining the different areas and different sections of my site. I will include images of the techniques and demonstrations (if I am able to incorporate them in). Visitors will also be able to access other sites to help them understand the different aspects of Muay Boran. There will also be a section for weapons and other equipment to add to an arsenal of information concerning Muay Boran.
Domain Name
My domain name is arsenalbox.net because of the arsenal of information that will be helpful for those wanting to learn about, or train in Muay Boran.
Some of my favorite sites
1. www.onemanga.com/ because of how simple the site is. It has advertisement and links to the manga that visitors can access. They have it organized in different ways to make the experience easy and memorable for when visitors to return again.They also have multiple ways to reach the particular manga that you want to read. If all else fails they have a search bar in the header at the top of the page so that users can search for their favorite manga to read. With the different images and color layout, I feel this is a great site to visit and will use elements of it for inspiration on creating my own webdomain.
2. www.ozon.ru/ because it's a foreign webdomain, I figured it would be a great webpage to analyze. www.ozon.ru/ is the Russian version of Amazon.com. It has a search bar and links to different categories to help users find what they are looking for quick and easy. Like most websites that are gears to sell merchandise (like amazon.com and ebay.com), ozon.ru also has these advertisement elements throughout the website. There are different advertisements that allow users to see what else they can buy that's associated with their interests. This is a complementary element used to help users as well as the companies selling the items. It's very efficient. This is what I like about his website and programmers have made it easier to use compared to other websites that are cluttered with a mess of advertisements that take away form the experience. Also it's interesting to see how programmers around the world still program in a unified fashion (for the most part). .
3. www.apple.com/ because of how user friendly it is. The color combination is a visual relief. The images they use are clean and clear. They have videos that help those who are new to Mac computers and help them understand the different features of their computer. This site also keeps it very simple. There isn’t a lot of clutter that will make cause customers to get lost in their pages.
