As a continuation from the homepage – our group also thought it would be useful to make redesign suggestions for the Crochet landing page. This page can be accessed from clicking “Crochet” in the top navigation or from the “Crochet” category button on the homepage beneath the header.
Our proposed redesign:
This redesign would make it much easier for users to quickly find the section/information they need in one glance, instead of having to read through lengthy paragraphs to find hard-to-see hyperlinks within. (see current crochet page below).
Our redesign would maintain the same branded top navigation as the redesigned homepage, as well as the same redesigned footer. This would provide consistency for users as well as maintain an easy site map for links that are accessed often.
We kept the newsletter section large but near the bottom to remove the need for a distracting shaded effect the current site has, while still maintaining the accessibility/importance for the newsletter sign up.
Additional things to note about our crochet page redesign:
- Separate hyperlinks and put them in more contrasting colors by creating obvious/clearly labeled buttons
- Tag beginner-friendly posts and/or tag all posts with appropriate levels – within the sub pages (for example patterns), all patterns/tutorials will be organized by skill level.
