This analysis of design will be about the aesthetic and the technical. Some research came from the web builder Wiliam Web Services - http://www.wiliam.com.au/ which had a brief to build “a versatile, easily accessible web site that would not only support the demands of those in the industry, but also provide an easy and enjoyable experience for the end user.”(3).
The home page layout is clear which is good user interface design, relating to the user, above the system architecture. There are eight links in the main banner _ Home, Join, Community, Campaigns, Donate, Blogs, Media, About. Three of these _ Community, Media and About could be combined into About [leaving six , regarded as a better number of choices] to minimise this banner as there is a degree of repetition within them.

I think the home page's layout is reasonably well structured. It's layout would definitely help the user navigate around the site.
ReplyDeleteEven though the recommended design max is 6 tags, the navigation bar doesn't look too cluttered.
I'm not sure if I liked the information about membership up the top of the page though as I think the top section with logo, etc should just contain the logo and the top nav bar.
Also, maybe a little more bold colour would give the webpage a bit more visual imnpact. But other than that, a reasonably well structured home page.
