Athenaeum Concept
Layout:
Modern, spacious and simple layout.
Unique 4 button layout that follows the users instinctive path through the hotel.
At the current time, athenaeumhotel.com employs a pastel colour theme. My goal is to bring in some darker colours to offset the bright and spacious images that make up the various rooms and facilities the hotel has to offer.
Functionality:
Logical and intuitive layout that takes into account the natural placement of the eye on the page.
Each button on the homepage features the next logical step in the viewing and booking process. For example, button 1 would lead the viewer to the rooms, while button 2 leads the viewer to the facilities etc.
Fast loading times.
Full functionality on all browser platforms.
