Our Goals for Your Website
- Easy to navigate--the visitor should be able to find what he/she is looking for without a lot of button clicking, head scratching and frustration.
- Informative - important information about your enterprise should be readily available.
- Functional - Your web site will provide appropriate tools for accessing information, downloading files, and communications between you and your customers and/or clients.
- Aesthetically pleasing--The site should be easy to read and pleasing to the eye, but not to the point of distraction (unless it is the beauty of your product that is causing the distraction).
- Displays and functions properly in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8, Opera, Firefox and SeaMonkey browsers (FireFox and SeaMonkey are heirs to the now unsupported Netscape Navigator) with standard and "larger" text sizes.
- As error free as possible. Our associate graphic artist and editor LeeAnn Ellis reviews our pages for language clarity and grammar as well as graphic design, quality and clarity.
This site is designed to inform you about web site design, including some of the things you should be thinking about relative to the design of your own site. Please browse our site at your leisure, and contact us with any questions that you have.
Here is an example of a floatbox application on one of our sites. This example also demonstrates how we can put additional pictures besides those on the source page into a slide show.
We can also do a slideshow of videos. For an example go to www.cuuf.org and click on the link "To watch the Unitarian Universalist Video ,Voices of a Liberal Faith; (and other UU videos)" in the center of the page.
The site your are currently on is, of course, our design. And we do use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) on all of our sites. Proper use of CSS separates most of the appearance of the site from the information on the site. See the Computer Support section of this site for an example of the power of Cascading Style Sheets . The changes in appearance in the Computer Support section come about through a half dozen changes in the CSS file and the web template that format the support pages of the web site, plus a few lines of code adding the extra support menu. Also visit www.csszengarden.com to see the extent to which appearance can be controlled by the CSS. The web page is identical for all of the pages on the zengarden site, only the CSS file has been changed.
Training and Support
Training has long been an activity that we enjoy at Johnson Leflore and Associates.
