Congratulations Rio!
I think Rio is an excellent choice for the 2016 Olympics and I’m sure they will be a great host.
Although in a purely hypothetical exercise in which the winner was determined by their bid website, I would pick Tokyo.
Here’s why:
- Use of open source technologies: L.A.M.P. with MovableType as their CMS. The other sites are using ASP.NET which is a great technology but based on personal experience, require more time and costs (licensing fees) to develop.
- I quite like the main navigation bar. Hovering over the menu item changes the background to a different color. The different color scheme is also utilized on each of the pages which works well.
- The use of Flash at the top to present another tier of menus is pretty effective and clever. The Flash makes some use of animation which is subtle enough to not distract the user from the rest of the website.
- The restaurant page is wonderfully presented. The layout is well-structured, the top page is sleek and the placing of images on the individual restaurants are well done.
But don’t take my word for it; the other candidate websites are pretty good as well:
