I will be posting website URLs in separate blog posts. Please visit each website and post comments on it.
Please include:
General comment about overall appearance.
Describe the design elements that you like.
Describe the functionality features that you like.
Interesting: there is no home button but after you navigate away from it the library name becomes clickable back to the homepage. Love your library link solicits testimonials through commenting directly on website. clean and uncluttered.
home page - found it to be well planned - the categoruies like "library", "catalog," and "branches" are easy to find. furthermore, each branch has its hours and address listed along with a picture of the library.
easy to navigate, nothing too fancy like the book logo next to name of library (found Jasper's boring) using the library link is helpful for new patrons kids catalog can be accessed separately from adult links to shop were interesting
From a reference staff member: This is by far my favorite website!! I loved everything about it –colors, lack of clutter, well-organized, the conciseness and clarity of the content. I like the fact that you can get at the catalog from 3 different points on the homepage. I thought the Shop Here tab was great, giving patrons the chance to support the library by purchasing books.
Drop downs similar on check page. Library logo is the "home" button. Too much white space on Teen Page. (looks like it is a reserved piece of territory)
Staff comments: I liked the dropdown boxes with different options that the gwinnettpl.org and ccls.org websites use. This gives users the same navigation on different pages.
