“site redesign”

Redesign Notes

Confusing Titles I consolidated multiple titles into one title. Unresized Images Several images were included that had not been resized, only scaled with height and width attributes. I resized them appropriately, and added a nice JavaScript-based animation to flick the users through several photos, to draw attention to them. Consolidated Navigation The primary navigation split on each side of the screen was confusing. I consolidated it into primary pages on the left, and secondary pages on the right. I also added a bit of color and boxing to make the navigation stand out as such more clearly. Image-Based Navigation I changed the image-based navigation to text-based navigation for better search engine indexibility and better Section 502 compliance. More Prominent Content I moved the content to the front and center, bringing more attention to it. I also shortened the line length, made the line height taller, and changed the colors for more contrast — all to make it easier to read. More Prominent Secondary Navigation I moved the secondary navigation to the top right of the page to make it easier to find. Trimmed Footer I divided the footer into two logical sections and trimmed it down to take up less space. I also reduced the contrast to push it further into the background of the page.
