Enjoy the day off! We will resume on Tuesday, March 6th.
On Tuesday, at the beginning of class, you should have redesigned your website based on feedback from the class and your user testing. You should also conduct a second wave of user testing with 5 different subjects. This time, present your users with definitions of the different elements they should be looking for. Look on the previous post for definitions.

For Thursday:
At the beginning of class, you should have redesigned your website based on feedback from the class and your user testing. You should also conduct a second wave of user testing with 5 different subjects. This time, present your users with definitions of the different elements they should be looking for. Here are some suggestions for definitions, but feel free to write your own:
- Site ID - The name of the site
- Page name - The title of the individual page you are looking at
- Sections (main navigation) - These are the main areas of the site, like main topics of a menu "Breakfast, Lunch Specials, Dinner, Deserts"
- Local navigation (secondary navigation) - Using the menu metaphor, this would be ice cream deserts vs. desert cakes.
- "You are here" indicator(s) - Some indicator on the navigation or otherwise that tells you where you are in the site relative to other parts of the site. An example might be highlighting the section you are in on the navigation.
- Search - A function used to find content deep within the site. Usually consisting of a form field and a button that says "search"
