Here are my main comments from a general usability perspective: Quite a lot of this page is actually text - In my point of view the simplification comes from having only a little text in one page, no paragraphs, just main thoughts in one sentence or a word. Is that what you are aiming to? Is it better to have many pages with little information or couple of pages with more information? The hello icon does not give me much information and I need the text to understand it. But I can learn it if it is used consistently in many places. I might also want to use my own memory aid icons from my personal library but this is currently not straightforward to do, maybe adding icon annotations to a page could help with CD? What I would add to the site, is to have a graphical navigation bar to illustrate the site structure instead of textually saying to continue to the next page and other textual links. That navigation bar should give feedback about where the users are (what they selected) and where they can go (other items in the navigation bar). Rigth now if I select links along my way and then try to think were I ended to and how to get back, or what else there is, I'm in trouble. Navigation bar functions as a memory aid to me. I hope this helps a bit forward. Marja
