Whats the hardest part of designing a good web site?
Designing the overall site structure and information flow. The information has to be packaged so that visitors can find what they’re looking for. To achieve this, I have to develop a design that allows the viewer to navigate the site how they want to. For example, you can get to Covington Innovations Home by clicking the image at the top of the page, through the jump menu, the dark blue navigation buttons, the sidebar and the breadcrumb menu. This carefully constructed web of links helps our viewers stay oriented and gives them easy ways to get where they want to go. The goal is to fit the web site to the visitor’s mind, rather than requiring the visitor to figure out how my mind works, or yours. This takes time to do right, but it’s well worth it.
