------------------------------------ Navigation: ------------------------------------ The navigation of the W3 site is done on the right hand side which is one of the most infrequently used navigation systems on the web. The recommended navigation should be either horizontal display with java script enabled roll down menus or best recommended is the left hand navigation with roll out menus as they are most user friendly. Furthermore, there is no clear demarcation of links and sub-links on the navigation. There should be at least some differentiation to know which page you are on. A strong navigation system is very important to be placed on the site. For ex. A user cannot go back to other unrelated sections from the page http://www.w3.org/Consortium/application.php3 as the navigation option is limited from here. ------------------------------------ Too much content: ------------------------------------ A constant issue persisting on the site is the long scrolls per page. This is not recommended as it reduces readability of content and searching of content through out the site is also difficult. It is suggested that smarter in-page navigation ------------------------------------ Graphics: ------------------------------------ The complete lack of graphics on the entire site makes the site look like a college project. It is highly recommended that some elements of graphics be introduced to the site which would enhance both the look and feel as well as the branding of the site. The site can have a top banner which is used to display current messages and events to frequent visitors. ------------------------------------ Application form section: ------------------------------------ The Application form section is split into too (a total of three) many sections, increasing the number of click throughs made by a user. A lot of content given on the first screen can be given as an optional window which the user can click on and read if he/she likes. Instant verification processing should be implemented on the site for quicker processing. -- Review sponsored by Nakagava Ltd. http://www.nakagava.com Tadas Talaikis, CEO http://www.oashy.com
