International Home Fashion


This is the homepage of International Home Fashion. It is advertising about automatic electric warming throws ( blankets). At a first look of the home page the User might not be convienced to further explore the webpage hyperlinks.The webpage is not eyeatching.This is because the colours used on the webpage is only 2 ( blue and white) throughout all the webpages which makes it boring to look at after a while.


The webpage has 3 different heading at the top of the page that makes it confusing to the User.The User might not understand which heading is related to the article that is given below.As all 3 headings have similar size and colour.


The page is very lengthy as it has a continuation below with many paragrahs and only one picture is inserted. Users might not want to take the trouble of scrolling up and down to obtain their wanted information.


For this webpage most likely the target audience might be adults of the age group of about 25-50. Therefore they are busy people. These group of people who want information at a first glance and not a webpage which require so much of reading to obtain the information about the blanket. The sentences are long sturctured and have small fonts which make it not a user friendly webpage for everyone.

As a result, the webpage might not be able to convey its information properly to the user. Therefore they are not gaining customers to purchase their blankets.





This is the one and only image of international home fashions webpage. The image is located right at the bottom and it is scanned from a magazine. The image does not look professional as it the image is not the main focus there are many sun-headings together with it. The image is also confusing as it has to many distractions around , there is a fireplace and plants. Therefore the blanket is no longer the center of attraction.


More information about the blanket(product) is obtained at the bottom of the image.The paragraph contains long structured sentences and has repetitive information. There is also unwanted information such as the history on the consumer safety products.

The user might not get satisfied with the advertised product as they may not gain trust over the product as there is bad markting displayed. Even the fonts are small and cramped together.
The website also does not show anywhere that is being updated regularly hence the user might not is the poduct is still available for purchase.

This is the buttons that would link us to other webpages when clicked on it. But there are repetitionof words in the headings for example the word Recall. This can be confusing as one can mistaken that both the headings are going to be based on the same issue. There is no indication shown when the user clicks on the buttons to show which page they are in.

This is the form taken from International home fashion. The form requires the user also to fill up information so as to recieve their blankets repalcements. In the instructions it is stated that the user sould use the comment box to indicate if they would want the blue or white blanket. This is not user friendly as the user might not be very sure on how to make their requests.

This webpage is entirely not CSS driven. It just user normal html tags which makes the webpage very boring. Therefore the webpage is not eyecatching . It does not contain any contrasting colours and has bad font type and size for the whole page.

How does this apply to my webpage?

This webpage has taught me not to a use a very boring layout for my webpage. It also has helped to be cautious when using the differnet colours if not a bad contrast of colours will be created which does not makes it intersting at all. I also will be very careful when choosing the type of font and size used in th webpage so as to be readable to everyone.This website contins bad navigations to the user's therefore in my website I will be careful in designing the hyperlink buttons.In this webpage there are no images mouse over effects or animations which makes it very boring to the user.Therefore I would make sure that I have many useful images and animations that captures the user's attenetion and at the same time maintaining a professional looking webpage.
