UI features
The key features we will be considering on Places are navigation via a menu and a search system. The
navigation will use a drill-down approach with the main menu always visible and the current level menu also
shown. This allows for a lot of flexibility whilst not creating a cluttered menu. We could also display a
breadcrumb so that the user has an appreciation of where they are in the site and which route they took from
the home page to get to the page they are currently viewing.
Page layout
As a community site, we want to make sure that there is plenty of room for content and also room for
discretely placed advertisements that will help pay the bandwidth bills. The site??™s basic look and feel will be
long lived as we want to build a brand and also because communities don??™t tend to like change, so we will
need a design that will grow with us as we to improve the site with new features.
Accessibility
As a modern site, we will ensure that we are accessible to all. This means that our site will be standards
compliant so that it works in all modern browsers and also that we have given consideration for those users
with less than perfect eyes and mouse coordination. The WAI accessibility standard will therefore be
considered at all times when building the front end of the website.
