>We need a multi-purpose website. In priority order the criteria are:

>1. Be welcoming to new users seeking information on how to grow,
>cultivate, and use irises in the garden and in the home. Get their
>interest and keep them moving around the site.
>
>2. Encouraging new visitors to join the society
>
>3. Provide useful information to existing members
>
>4. Provide administrative users with the information they need.

>We want the home page to be uncomplicated and easy to navigate onward
>to the four basic venues. We also want the Home page to be primarily
>oriented to the first purpose.

>There will be a lot of navigation issues beyond the Home page but
>those can be addressed as they come up. What we will need is a
>flexible architecture that allows us to adapt and change as we move
>forward and time changes the needs for the site. We dont want to
>design a navigation architecture that is too closely designed for our
>needs today and consequently restricts us from doing things we need
>in the future.

>I think that Brad Ks suggestions for the home page are some of the
>best and reflect the general consensus of how to approach the new
>visitors. We will want to have a range of pictures for the Home page
>including people and gardens in addition to beauty shots of irises.
