Home page is very minimal and provides the users with clear navigation options through the page menus’. The navigation structure is very consistent. There are a reduce number of entry points for page options. The page provides a site map and a search bar option which allows users to search through page options quickly. The website provides good feedback by highlighting page options when the curser rolls over page buttons. The website also enables keyboard focus feedback, for example, the tab key can be used to navigate page options. The website features a white background which exaggerates the difference between the pictures and menus options on the foreground—done in contrasting colours (i.e. grays, tans, etc.). The colour pairings for this site presents a uniform colour scheme in navigating clickable text—texts are highlighted in different colors.

A negative about the site is that the text is very small which does not allow for users with vision issues to read the text efficiently. Also the top menu options of the Mac and IPod and ITunes menu page are not very clearly highlighted—the text and the background are shades of gray. When rolling over the icons it would be nice to have some sort of feedback besides the font slightly changing colour, perhaps it could enlarge, like applications do on Mac menus.
