After a year or so of griping, whining, begging and grousing the PTB at work have decided the home page of our web site MIGHT be too complex. I get to come up with a redesign idea this weekend and present it next week.
We are an independant telephone directory publisher. Our competitors have better interfaces that us. I have come up with the following ideas and requirements: - The home page be a yellow page search with 2 boxes (what and where) - White and Reverse Number searches will be separate pages with simple search interfaces - The interface will have a "tabbed" look - All searches will default to the new list version with links to the "look and feel" - A WAP version of the searches will be available - The covers of the published directories will link to "portal pages" with 3 search options and links to the most popular headings - The site will be standards compliant (the IE7 javascript fix will be used for better IE compliance) - Current internal pages will be evaluated for usefulness - Reciprical links will be re-evaluated and may be brought to the home page What I would like to add are: - HTML version of the community guides (original content created by my employer or our partners) - Topical sections of the site addressing Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida issues (hurricane prep, new-comer, spanish language, etc.) - Searchable coupons and better coupon interface So now I invite the community to give me ideas. If you could tell your telephone directory publisher what you wanted on thier website, what would you demand, request or like? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:209549 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
