Re: Web Page Redesign

[MORRISJE1@aol.com]

John,

I agree that the home page redesign looks excellent!  And as Kitty  says, the
photos seem to "step out of the page."  I would like to see the  pictures
identified and I would not worry about being politically correct with  only
medal
winners.  The general public doesn't care about any of  that.  In dealing
with web sites and talking to many other people so  involved, the consensus is
that folks just want more and more pictures so that a  good selection of iris
types and varieties are available to be  seen.

When moving forward with your Photo Gallery drop downs consider adding
"Irises on the Show Bench" and "Iris Designs."  There are many people whose
main
iris interest lies within these two areas of the iris experience.  And  we do
want to appeal to those who live in apartments or retirement homes (an
increasing number of our aging membership).

Looking forward to the rest of the web site redesign!  Good job so  far.  An
exciting start!!!

Jim M.

Here is  a redesigned home page,  with the drop-down menus working.

The  links below are all the same design with a variety of center
images,  just so you can see how it looks with different images.

This is just  the home page format. The format for sub pages will have
a different  look more suitable for displaying and navigating to more
types of  information. The items in the drop down menus are place
holders and  can be changed as we need them. That is actually the point.

We know  what most of our content is going to be for now. We will
never know  what all our content is going to be in the future because
it is  going to change, and we will have to change and add links (and
take  some away) and content as we evolve over the years. The point is
to  have a design that is flexible enough to accommodate what we need
to  do. We can argue about the specific link titles, but the structure
is there to allow us to move forward. Obviously the sub links are  not
active yet. Just roll over the items ("Growing Irises" etc.) to  see
the drop downs.
