  5. Audience • Primary • Decision makers of Benton County • City Council • Secondary • Advisors of decision makers • The Governor • Tertiary • Evaluators of Socio-econmichealth topics • Politicians, Health officials • Gatekeepers • Benton County Board of Commissioners • People providing the data

  6. Purpose • The purpose of this website is to provide Socioeconimichealth status information to intended audience.

  7. II. Navigation • Not “user friendly” • Links are hard to see at top of page • Links don’t correlate • Links on side bar not alphabetized and there are too many • No back button on site

  8. II. Navigation

  9. III. Organization • Link issues cause lack of organization • Too many categories to choose from • Narrow down main topic • Expand within each topic • Reflects lack of communication about how to organize information • Charts and Graphs confusing

  10. IV. Design Aspects • Balance • Alignment • Grouping/Use of white space • Consistency • Contrast

  11. Design Balance • Dark border on left vs. white space on the right

  12. Design Alignment • Text not justified • Graphs and Charts do not have same dimensions and seem to be placed where they will fit • NO CONSISTENCY to the alignment of graph size, placement, and association of text

  13. Design Grouping • There is no obvious grouping • Spacing between charts and graphs is almost non-existent • Headings are not distinct • A border may help sight look more clean lined

  14. Design Consistency • Inconsistent color choice for graphs and charts • Bullets vs numbering in lists are not consistent • Graphs and Charts labled, but not in the same manner throughout • Uses a font with serifs, helpful with a professional look

  15. Design Contrast • Background color could be helpful to make charts and graphs a focal point • Dark Blue color provides good contrast with the white text, but the text is hard to read Which one can you read better? Which one can you read better? Which one can you read better? Most like the website

  16. Graphics • Attach charts to assigned graphs • Decide to use text to describe all figures or none • Some graphics are too small/blurry
