Re: Web Page Redesign


The board can set a policy about pictures, but I don't think Medal winners is broad enough a category. In the 10 years or so that I have been responsible for the website, I have not had one complaint about the pictures that have been (or not been) displayed.

If we wanted to, we could charge a fee to be included in the rotation so hybridizers could place their most recent introductions.

Whatever the board decides on.

Hi John.

In a word WOW. What a great job. I also agree that it would be nice to see a different iris when returning to the home page. Terry's suggestion of medal winners would, I believe, forgo hurting anyones feelings and make it easy to pick the irises to show.

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.

(There is a typo in the Photo Gallery pull down and I will fix that later)
