KL Sentral Competitor 3

Mid Valley City
http://www.midvalleycity.com/main.html


As Zyen has mention, Mid Valley is conceived to be an alternative city center by the year 2010 with a total city offer within a self-contained environment with superb connectivity, offering seamless, rewarding experiences to all visitors and occupants of Mid Valley.There has Hotel,Office building, industry park, garden, shopping complex and it is conveniently located near public transports such as the Light Rail Transit, Commuter Train, Taxis and Buses.That's why i choose Mid Valley City as a competitor of KL Sentral.

About Design
The design idea of the website is good which is provide a click able virtual aerial view but they had wasted the idea because they make it too small.For the linking page like,Northpoint, Cititel Hotel, Boulevard Hotel, Menara IGB, Boulevard Office and centerpoint are not much design. They just paste some image on the page and add in some text info(no hierarchy,no different size and type in fonts)But i quite like the page of The Gardens and also Mid Valley Megamall website^ ^

About Information
There is no home page for the website and every time when click back button, the web will reload then only show the main page which is the click able virtual aerial view. It is very inconvenient for user. And there is no consistency for the logo and the main problem is the information is not much and we can't know well for their development and also this corporate.The last thing i would like to mention is the text design. The same size and same type fonts make the whole website look very boring and don't have a focuses point in the linking page. The info is too general and they treat all the text as an image(lazy~haha><)

KL Sentral Competitor 1

The Mines http://www.mines.com.my/v1/



Mines Resort City is a famous resort city in M'sia. Located south of the federal district of Kuala Lumpur in Seri Kembangan, Selangor.Once the world's largest open cast tin mine, the Mines now consists of apartment by an artificial canal.I choose The Mines as a competitor of KL Sentral because they have some similarity=hotel,exhibition,shopping complex, resort, house area and business park.

About Design
Personally, i like this website mood because it looks interesting because of not using boxes to frame it out.The background color is comfortable and flash has been using to introduce each of their 7 wonders.(but there has some problem for the rollover effect ;3 )

About Information
This web not that much in information design.Once you select the main navigation button, a long box with info come out and cover a bit of the main picture.When you click on read more, it will open with a new page show some very basic info in words about them with a traditional web page. (they target in different audiences but the traditional web page is not that attractive and some are link to pdf file.)
