Pizzahut.com.my is a good web site

For me, pizzahut.com.my is a good web site. It can show the different features in this web site to describe the design and it is text, navigation, link, graphics, general design.

First of all, the background does not interrupt the text. the text is big enough and not too big it is easy to read and understand. The hierarchy of information is well clear

Follow by the navigation. The navigation button and bar are easy to identify and clear.For example, if we want to know the latest pizza,we can click the "pizza"and it will bing us to see different type of pizza. The navigation bar is placed in the same position at any pages. Beside that, the frame are not obtrusive because the web pages are using frame to display its information.Besides that,The navigation is consistent in every web site.

The graphics in this web site are use browser safe colors and although there are no alt label but it still can easyily understand.Other than that, the graphics are match with the text link.For example,in the section "how to order"all the graphic are match to the link.

For the general design of this web site. The pages are download quickly because after you click the link it can bring you to the page in few seconds and there are a site map,user are easily to search what they need.There have pizzahut logo in every pages to make sure to the user are still in the pizzahut web site.

Reason to make a return visit to pizzahut web site

The main reason that make me to visit to the pizzahut web site is because my family like to eat pizza^^Besides that,it also provide the latest information to us about the new type pizza.

It is also convenient to me,i do not need to drive car and buy a pizza because it is possible to get it online.So it can save more time and not so troublsome.Especially,when there is a traffic jam.It will cost u alot of time to buy only 1 pizza.
