For my wireframing & content audit assignments, I decided on my hometown's annual street fair as my starting point. The website wasn't necessarily up to par, pretty simple, though we are a small town that's not exactly on the forefront. From there, I did wireframes for two similar but bigger events, the LA County Fair and the Minnesota State Fair. These provided a better design quality and a different organization I thought was more appropriate for today's internet user. But when it comes down to it, wireframes are about the organization and hierarchy, not the design.
When it came down to it, the differences between the Ephrata Fair page & those of the LA County & Minnesota State fairs were not as many as I would have anticipated. The imagery is bigger and keeps to one main image. The stark sidebar is eliminated, though the LA County site still hints at one. A search bar is exclusive to the LA & Minnesota sites, which helps drastically in user experience. Other than that, the bare bones of these sites are not too different.
