hublot / DESIGNColour
The black background with metal texture make the website looks glamour and tough. The website theme is very representing the style of the brand itself, which is glamour and tough.
The colour scheme for the basic layout elements are in monchrome of black and white colours. The images used are bright full colour images with very clear details.
Font
The font family is Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif. The size mostly won’t be a problem of legibility, as the sizes are big and contrast with the background. The use of various styling and intensity of grey and white for the text colour goes well with the overall look of the website and logo.
The line height is big enough, but there is no space added in between paragraphs. Some paragraphs have quite big space in between lines which are still under the same paragraph.
Layout
The first thing audience will see is the main image, which is the image of the collection watch. The use of large image of watch and simple background, is a great contrast to direct audience’s attention to the main image.
The second thing audience will see is the carousel of news. It becomes the second thing audience will see is because it’s still above the fold and it is more colourful than the logo. The logo is in pure white. It’s planned well with other navigation menus are in lower brightness.
All the pages are only takes the fold space. Some of the sub-pages use different way to show the content, which doesn’t seem necessary and make the website lack of unity. Some content also shown in a pdf format, which makes the website looks not maintained professionally.
The expansion of news carousel to half of the page is make the page looks messy as the there is no even a translucent black layer covering the back of the news carousel.
Attractiveness
The style is not very neutral for all audience being targeted. It’s more attractive to the younger audience, but the interfaces are still quite simple to be used. So, for the older audience to use the website to find what they need, won’t be a problem.
The use of dark background contrast with white coloured text is a good decision for legibility purpose. The visual aspect is treated very well, like the huge image of watch with clear details and bluring other watches while looking at the selected watch.
8
hublot / USABILITYContent
The content is managed with careful. The explanation of the product’s detail is designed in an attractive way, to see the details the audience has to explore around the visual, without any signs which part is provided with the details. It’s better to have another alternative, either put certain signs on the visual or put the grouped details at the other corner.
Some menus of the navigation lead to new page, which is very good as it is used for clear purpose. Some of the menus are “HUBLOT Nation” and “HUBLOTista.”
Function
The interface is easily used. The audience can understand at once just by moving the cursor around. The functions are working well.
There is a feature which is to take control of the live camera shooting on the product. Even sometimes the audience unable to use because of the low bandwidth, but it’s a very creative way to show the product
There are 10 language options and all are working well without reducing the aesthetic of the website. However, the news is not translated to the language chosen. It is not a majot problem, but it will be much better if the whole website is translated.
Effectiveness
Audience easily finds what is needed, even though the site map is a cycle format. Audience easily meets all the purposes.
9
hublot / CONCLUSION
Overall, HUBLOT website is a good website. It really represents the brand with the colour theme and all design elements used. The visual and interface are undobtedly one of the best. The website can’t be used on mobile browser, because of using flash. But it has the replacement so that audience still find what is needed through mobile browser. However, it is poorly designed.
It just needs to make the navigation menu clearer and give some repetition to show more unity in term of page layout.

Some of the ambassadors are Kate Winslet, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Chi Ling Lin, Stefanie Graf, Ingeborga Dapkunaite, Jane Richard, Ariella Kaeslin, Evgenia Kanaeva and Francesca Schiavone.
Demography
AGE –30 to 50 years old
SOCIAL CLASS –Upper middle class to upper class
HOUSEHOLD INCOME –Exceed $100,000
EDUCATION LEVEL –Graduate degrees
TYPICAL PROFESSION –Housewives, lawyers, physicians, dentists, engineers, accountants, management consultants, professors, architects, economists, political scientists, pharmacists, school principals, administrative assistant, executive assistant, civil service executives and civilian contractors
Psychography
Most of them are financially independent and some are wives from a upper middle class or upper class family.
In leisure time, the young professionals typically going to a café with friends, fine dining, going to cinemas, going for body treatments, shopping, cooking, reading books and magazines, travelling, social networking and clubbing. Most of the time is spent with colleagues, friends, family or date.
While the housewives and senior typically gathering with friends for tea, doing social or charity activities, shopping, reading books and magazines, gardening and travelling. Most of the time is spent with family.
15
longines / DESIGNColour
The navy blue background contrast with white font colour. The translucent navy blue on the main image is not a very good idea. It creates seperation, which will be better if the gradient of image visibility used.
Some of the labels of request form are in red to mark as mandatory field, but the best option is just to mark it with symbol than changing the font colour to red.
The images are not using the same visual styles. Some are elegant, some are more illustrative and very farly different colour style.
Font
The font family is Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif. The size is 26, 12 and 11 pixels. The use of styling and intensity of of grey and white are poorly planned.
There are blocks of text in bold which is not a recommended way to differentiate certain paragraph.
Layout
The first thing audience will see is the main image, which consists of two combined images with almost the same visual weight. The main image should be replaced with one main focus to keep the attention of audience directed from one to another than make audience confused.
The second things audience will see is the logo and the navigation menus. They become the second things audience will see is because they
are quite contrast than the secondary navigation menus below the main image. Again, the logo and navigation menus both have the same visual weight. The logo should be more contrast in size than the navigation menus.
The third thing audience will see is not the secondary navigation or other social website icons, but is the “NEWS” drop down menu.
The last part audience will see is the row of secondary navigation menus with the other social website and application icons. The application icon’s height extend outside the colour bar, which is a bit disturb the order of audience’s attention with its stand out visual contrast.
The page doesn’t fill the whole screen, so the best option is to centralize the page, rather than just let one side of the page left empty. It makes the eye doesn’t feel balance because of the visual weight imbalance.
The layouts on sub-pages are inconsistent. Different sub-pages have different columns, which doesn’t make the website has good unity.
Attractiveness
The style is quite neutral, which is the best decision for a website with audiences from wide range of age. The use of dark background with white coloured text is not a major legibility problem for audience below 50 years old.
16
longines / USABILITYContent
The content is not managed professionally. The navigation menus are not categorized wisely. Some of the contents can be merged and some should not be placed under certain menu. There is also a menu which requires to change the name of the sub-menus yearly.
Though, there is a site map which enable audience to find the content needed. The detail of each product is placed at the same page of the product’s visual, which is good. But the detail is just provided in paragraph, which is not attractive to be read. The detail can be arranged with lines lead to point the part of the watch and also the thumbnails are too small, which audience can’t see which is more attractive to be shown in bigger display.
Function
The interface is working well. The buttons are working and responsive on mouse over.
The image of the watch at the home page leads to misunderstanding. Audience might think the clickable area of the image is to activate the watch, but it’s not. It’s leading to a page with the detail of the watch.
There are seven language options and all are working well. However, the news is still not translated to language chosen.
Effectiveness
Audience easily finds what is needed, even though the content is not well displayed. The only content which audience might fail to find is when audience tries to find the watch only by remembering the image of the watch. Audience can easily navigate from page to page.
17
longines / CONCLUSION
Overall, LONGINES website is not a good website. It has many good design elements, but fail in layouting and lack of user-oriented applications. The website is accessible on mobile browser and it is using the same website as on other common browsers.
It needs a lot of improvements. Starting from the interface, content, layout and design.

omega / DESIGNColour
The light grey background makes the website looks clean and still elegant. Soft gradient is applied wisely to most parts of the website.
The images used are not all in same colour mode, but yet they still goes well together with the balance feeling.
Font
The font family is Arial, sans-serif. The size is 45, 18, 14, 12, 11 and 10 pixels. The use of various styling and intensity of grey and white for the text colour and some text links in red, goes well with the overall look of the website and logo.
The line height is not big enough. Epecially when moving to a new paragraph, there is no space added to notify the changing to a new paragraph.
Layout
The first thing audience will see is the main image, which is the image of most recent collection. The use of large image of watch and colourful background, surely will keep the order of audience’s attention starts from it.
The second thing audience will see is the carousel of featured contents. It becomes the second thing audience will see is because it’s still above the fold and it is more colourful than the logo.
After the carousel and the logo, audience’s attention will be directed to the navigation menus which are inline with the logo. And at last are the secondary navigation menus at top corner, copyright, secondary navigation menus at bottom corner and other social website icons.
The home page is only takes the fold space. For the sub-pages, the audience will need to scroll down.
The layouts on sub-pages are consistent. Certain elements have difference through the pages to differentiate what are need to be showed differently.

25
omega / CONCLUSION
Overall, OMEGA website is a very good website. It really stands out from the competitors. It uses light background when all the competitors use dark background. The website is in HTML, which is accessible on mobile browser. However, the website uses flash as main image, so the website used for mobile is different. The mobile website is more like mobile application. It is content-oriented, but still looks beautiful with the careful usage of typography and colours.

31
rolex / DESIGNColour
The black background and dark green header makes the images stand out than the rest. The dark green is also the branding colour which is good to be used in the website to let the repetition remains at the audience’s mind.
Font
The font used is sans-serif fonts, but the text is saved as images in flash file.
The line height is very well maintained and it supports the legibility. Even the font sizes of title and body text are different, but inserting a small amount of space is still necessary as both are still using the same colour.
Layout
The first thing audience will see is the carousel of content images. The images of watch animate the hands according to the recent time.
The logo is the second element audience will see, as it is placed at the top right corner and it is also the element with colour on it.
Then, followed by navigation menus placed inline with the logo and the most bottom are the secondary navigation menus and other website options.

32
rolex / USABILITYContent

At the introduction of the product, the paragraph is also shown in summarized form and audience is allowed to read the longer version.
Function
The interface is easily used. The audience can understand at once just by looking at the presence of the signs. The functions are working well and made perfect with transitions profesionally considered.
There is no very special interface, but with all the perfect visual attraction, audience can easily amazed of the website.
There are 11 language options and all are working well and all parts of the website are translated to language chosen.
Effectiveness
Audience can easily find what is needed, unless when the audience wants to find minor information using search function. Because the website is not equipped with search function.
33
rolex / CONCLUSION
Overall, ROLEX website is a good website. It really represents the brand with the colour theme. The visual of each page looks beautiful and different from one to another. The website is a flash website, but there is a HTML version provided. The website is using different version in mobile browser. The website is more content-oriented and designed like mobile application.
It just need to consider about the younger audience as well, for the target audience is ranging from 30 to 70 years old and the website is not very attractive to the younger audience.

tissot / CONCLUSION
Overall, TISSOT website is a good website. It really represents the brand with the colour theme and all simple design elements used. The website is accessible in mobile browser, but caused by the flash for main image, it doesn’t appear on mobile browser.
It needs to re-layout the pages to have more unity as a whole website and be more consistent in using the colours.
42
CONCLUSIONIn conclusion, between the five websites, the best websites are OMEGA website and HUBLOT website, while the worst website is LONGINES website.
OMEGA website is the best compared to others because the website is beautiful for any audience in any age. It uses light colour background, instead black background, but still able to handle the images and keep the beauty of the products appealing to the audience. The website has very good control overall, from the colour, imagery, layout, font and consistency. It is a good example of user-oriented website.
HUBLOT website is the best in term of show-casing the products. It’s very organized and also showed in interesting way.
LONGINES website is the worst compared to others because the website is lack of control in many aspects. Starting from the home page, the hierarchy is very poor. Then, the layout, imagery control, colour and font not showing a unified website.
So, the website chosen to be revamped is LONGINES website, because there are more rooms for improvement.

revamp / DEVELOPMENT
The website is using bright and calm colour background instead of dark background to enhance the visual of the product.
Research on colour usage
From the research and careful planning, here are the decisions made to be included in designing the website.
Colour
The new layout will be using the soft and monochrome colours to overcome with the lack of dark and wide logo. Some soft gradients will be applied to make the website looks more alive and not too dull.
Font
The new layout will use serif fonts to make it more fun and also adding a feel of old antique theme.
Layout
The new layout will be designed based on grid system to make the layout looks clean and easy in placing the massive amount of images. The website design will use a more unique way to display the products.
47
The websites are using serif fonts and different tones of grayscale. The text is legible and fun with playing only with text.
Research on font usage
48
The websites are using horizontal movement with layout in columns. It creates simple, fun and clean websites instead of putting in a lot of design elements.
