Interview tips

Ok guys,

I have a skype interview for a startup company tomorrow looking for a graduate developer. Hopefully it'll be my foot in the door. But I've been asked to take a look at the existing website and take notes in preparation for the interview.

What should I exactly be taking notes on?

As a developer, you'd probably take notes on how the pages are implemented. Is a framework in use, and which one(s)? What features are being used - navbars, carousels, transitions, animations, modals, etc.?

They may also want to see if you have a designer's eye as well. Is the layout attractive and useful, is the navigation intuitive? Is the design consistent from page to page? What might you change to improve the user experience?

Oh dear, I just noticed you said "tomorrow" and this posting is 4 days old. Well, in that case .. how did it go?
