Nima, Peter, Mark, and whoever else creates and maintains the ASEDA site do an awesome job. We really do have a slick and professional looking site. Probably because those guys really are professionals.
But there is one minor thing that I think could make the site even more useful to current and potential future ASEDA members: There needs to be a more direct and obvious path from the front-page to the forum. Direct as in...one click.
I think the forum is the heart of the site and is ASEDA's #1 resource for keeping people up-to-date on swing-related goings-on, both in Atlanta and afar. But it really is tucked away on the site and many people, both ASEDA members and casual websurfers who google "atlanta swing dancing" never even find it. You have to click on at least a couple of links to get to it and there are some distractions along the way. So unless they really know where they're trying to go, there's a good chance they may never find the forum and all of the up-to-the-minute information therein.
So I say put some 300pixel, blinking, underlined, blood-red text (on a green background) that says, "FORUM!!!" right on the front page and link it directly to the forum index.
OK, obviously, I'm no designer. So I'll just leave my idea in the hands of the professionals who brought us such a cool site in the first place. All of you guys wear the coolest shirts, by the way. _________________ "...would you mind removing the leaky bladder quote from your signature? ... I wear Depends." - C.B. |
