Chapter 7 is up for discussion this week. In the chapter, the very first thing Krug begins describing is that the homepage is "beyond our control." There are so many things that the homepage needs to cover, and in order to attract your audience. First of all, a homepage must include the sites identity and their mission. This should be the very first thing any user recognizes. Understanding that a homepage needs to cover so many things, in such little spaces draws in a problem. Understanding how to organize everything is very important when designing a homepage. You do not want to over power the user, but you want to give them what they are looking for. A search bar is a necessary tool in order to give the user a fast approach to find their specified needs. Most importantly, the user needs to know why they are at your website, and where they can find what they need. A tagline is always important to characterize your website! One of the most important parts of a homepage, or any webpage is the navigation. The navigation must be clear and easy to use. Again, there should be no questions in the brain of your user.
I really enjoy the creativity behind this websites navigation
This website uses a creative approach, but is still identifiable as a navigation system to the user.
