Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Site Scores:

Site Visual Information Code Overall
George Mason University – School of Law 95 89 83 (267/300) 89% B+

Today’s Tip:

Don’t forget about your footer. The footer is a great place to show your university style and really complete the page. Users typically look to the footer automatically for location, contact and other resources that don’t typically make it above the fold. Try to give your footer some personality in addition to resources.

Site Visual Information Code Overall

Today’s Tip:

Make sure you are using progressive enhancement or graceful degradation for every aspect of your site. If IE6 doesn’t support something then give them a different experience. There is no need to spend hours hacking something together so a page works in IE. Providing information doesn’t mean you have to guarantee the same experience on every device.

Today’s Tip:

Its okay to break through the structured template every once an a while to get the users attention and get them involved. Using colors is a great way to get attention but breaking the grid can also bring attention to things without using crazy colors.
