Great Content, Average Visuals
Off road racing can be understood to be a type of vehicular racing, with a twist. The vehicles, which can include cars, bikes, trucks and even buggies, are specifically modified. These races take place on an off-road track and do not follow the conventional path. The site http://www.dirtclub.com is an attention-grabbing site that will greatly interest dedicated fans of the sport as well as casual pursuers of information alike. With a lot of material on various aspects related to off road racing such as 4×4 off road races, off road vehicles and offroad events, the site is sure to appeal to a wide variety of people. However, event though in terms of content the site is good, when the factor of visual appeal comes in, the site fails to reach the standard of excellence that it has otherwise managed to set the tone for. The site background is black in color. While black is a universal favorite, the problem is that it has become so common the effect and appeal of it has worn off. The site looks like any other on the World Wide Web, which is not a positive element, as the real key to success is in standing out and not necessarily in blending in. Also splashes of bright yellow have been used to liven up the site. While these are certainly eye-catching, the effect is not entirely pleasant as the drastic contrast of black and yellow can be slightly harsh on the eyes. The background for text is grey which doesn’t entirely blend in with the scheme of black and yellow and can have a rather confusing effect on the entire visual aspect. The images peppered throughout http://www.dirtclub.com are a good idea, but they should be slightly bigger and the picture resolution needs to be worked upon. Like many other sites, http://www.dirtclub.com is good for information but fails to deliver a visual treat.
