Redesign Rationale
Assignment 3c
The second and third redesign elements that we addressed were 1) the missing tagline and poor main page photo and 2) the lack of overall design consistency. Before we started our redesign prototyping, looked at the websites of other membership-based organizations such as the Society of American Archivists and the Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology. We discussed what worked and did not work on each of these websites.

Example Thought Process We had difficulty with the Member’s Galleries link because it can be considered a Gallery or Education item, due to the images and patterns both available on that current page. We therefore thought that it might be best to split the content on the original page into Photo Gallery and Pattern Gallery. We discussed the idea of adding links throughout the site, leading to these separated content pages from other pages, or having the current content page linked instead (for example, having a link on the Library page to the pattern content that is currently found on the Gallery page). |
