Today’s Tip:
Users scroll, it’s a fact; otherwise there wouldn’t be pages deeper than 700 pixels. Make sure your important elements are above the fold, this includes navigation. Although there may be other things on the page the navigation gives the user a frame of reference about where they are and where they can go. More often visitors are coming directly from search engines which means they have about 10 seconds to decide if this is the right place for them. Navigation is a huge factor in orienting someone on your site, make your visitors see it right away.
Looking for Guests:
I am looking for guests to be on the show and review a site with me. And I am looking to you for suggestions! I setup the form below to start gathering recommendations. Nominate anyone you think would have some great insight and can analyze a higher education website constructively. They don’t have to be a big name or even popular.
