Description

Appearance Modify the appearance to make the Web site more readable, aesthetically pleasing, modern, and professional. Design Effectively use the real estate of the home page and interior pages, while emphasizing the Citys core functions and services. Use clear, mutually exclusive labels that the audience can relate to. Do not assume users know how City departments are organized. Use distinct and effective categories and sub categories for each major site section. Make sure that each site layer has some distinct structure elements, so that users can identify where they are on the site.Navigation Improve navigation to adhere more closely to current Internet practices so that the navigation is intuitive and reflects best practices. Navigation should include search that is easy to locate and use, a site map, a link to the online directories, a contact page, print this page function, email this page function, possible membersonly areas, and links to interior pages based on Citys core functions and services. Implement taxonomy features. Proposers system should be able to provide tabbed navigation within some landing pages, rotate feature articles, and be able to use of ICON for labeling certain features. The design should also provide global navigation (such as an I want to pulldown or links) to access common action items. Visually identify external links. Simplify the URL naming convention to reflect site structure and use URL aliasing. Senior Usability Use high contrast text, use more whitespace in between lines of text, avoid long pull down menus which require maximal dexterity to use, make sure clickable target areas are bigger and more forgiving, and implement a sitewide control to increase the font size.
