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.
liked the local information tab with links and community guide liked the yellow, happy background on kids page overall I felt lost on this site and a little bored
From a reference staff member: I didn’t like the “in your face” graphics. The background could be a more exciting color. I thought there was too much info crammed onto the website. It could have been edited. Also thought the library name could use a little zing. The font, size & color were boring.
From a reference staff member: Interesting to have category tabs listed vertically. Liked that the top of every page remains the same with the same list of categories.
Heading tabs in the banner are nice. Page is very busy with non-library material. I like their teen page layout better. Similiar but less crowded.
Staff comments: The myjcpl.org, bexlib.org, myacpl.org websites look really dated and don't use a lot of commonly available functionality that most other sites use, such as rollovers or dropdowns.
Pretty nice look overall in spite of common three column layout. A lot going on but avoids looking too cluttered.

too many competing graphics without cohesive structure from headings or background, the tan letters are too quiet
