Re: Suggestions for new graphical design for the web site

"putting it up front on the web site makes it easy to find without 
navigating all over the
site."



Rita, it would be nice if everything could be up front on the web site, but 
that just can't be so.  I think it is important to evaluate what is most 
important for the home page.. what will potential new viewers, and 
re-visiting viewers see when they first come to the website?   Do you really 
think that for most visitors to the web site, the most important thing for 
them when they get to the AIS home page is to be asked if they would like to 
check their membership?  I would suggest that those who excel at marketing 
take a look at what the home page initially offers viewers. is it best that 
can be done to encourage a viewer to want to enjoy the website, the 
promotion of the love of iris, and the participation in a number of avenues 
through the website.



Many organizations have both an internet service site, and an intranet 
service site.   One is oriented to serve the outside or public world, the 
other is oriented to serve the internal organization.

I am a subscriber to a number of periodicals and organizations. and I just 
don't think I want to be finding my membership/subscription status as front 
page news at all of these sites.   All I am suggesting is that it be placed 
in a more inconspicuous place, or at a private link for those who need it.
