10 April Survey

This mock-up was raised for initial feedback in the 10 April Survey and discussed on 17 Apr meeting.

General comments

  • It's difficult to see how much content is on the page and difficult to navigate to a specific section, because there's no navigation menu. {Melody, 15 Apr 2015}
    • I will look at structural navigation, although I was deliberately avoiding a left-hand navigation as it really wouldn't have added that much. {Kevin, 16 Apr 2015}
  • Definitely better than most W3C documents, but still a wall of text. I can't put my finger on it, but the design is not quite right, especially on the desktop view for the level 1 and 2 pages. It's functional, but not beautiful. I'll have my designers have a look and provide me with their perspective {Paul, 15 Apr 2015}
    • Any design input would be welcomed! {Kevin, 16 Apr 2015}

Discussion topics

  • Think I preferred the 'tabbed' approach {Andrew, 15 Apr 2015}
    • I have been thinking about the navigation problem, and I think that I may have been ... hasty in removing the tabs. They do actually help as a navigation element. I might suggest keeping the overview page, but on the category page and activity page, use tabs to provide navigation. I have put some alternative approaches of this in Planning/Design#Version 2 and Planning/Design#Version 3 {Kevin, 17 Apr 2015}
  • On the landing page seems OK but on sub-pages may need to change lay-out (did we not discuss expand/collapse for the sub sections? {Sharron, 15 Apr 2015}
  • There is a little too much scrolling on the home and first level pages. Can it be compressed a bit more or made more graphical (not with icons, but with boxes or containers). {Brent, 15 Apr 2015}
  • The header banner isn't aligned with the content which makes it really discombobulated. {Jon, 16 Apr 2015}
