Site review please - The Disability Resource Centre in Beds.

Reply with quote Hi guys,

The Disability Resource Centre in Bedfordshire http://www.drcbeds.org.uk is currently reviewing its webpage to better cater to disabled people, and carers. We would gladly listen to any comments,suggestions, and critercisms associated with the pages and how we could improve
our usability and user experience.

Thanks for taking the time, all comments greatly appreciated
Reply with quote Hi and welcome to the forum!

Sorry its taken so long for someone to respond but I'm sure you understand: Holidays, sickness, business commitments, family commitments, etc.

I've looked at your site and will post some observations over the weekend for you to look at.

Hope you haven't been put off by the lack of attention until now!

Cheers! Smile

P.S. I've changed the title of your post to show the name of your site. Much better than a generic 'please review my site'. Smile
Reply with quote The first thing I notice is that the homepage does not use any heading elements. Here is some big text on the page, which acts as a heading but is using <div class> instead of <h1>:
Code:
<div class="big_title">
Information and advice for disabled people
</div>

Should be coded like this:
Code:
<h1>Information and advice for disabled people</h1>

The navigation is structured correctly with list elements. However, these empty elements in between the main items should be removed:
Code:
<li><span class="separator"></span></li>
Reply with quote Hello There,
I like the clean design and think the sites professional. Maybe you need a little more social interaction with you visitors, Facebook fan pages and twitter feeds about all the good work you guys are doing could help. Also adding like buttons ect. Very Happy
Reply with quote Going one step further as far as social_interaction goes (as this seems to be the hot trend nowadays) you could definitely add a social_bookmarking widget... You can never tell which social_bookmarking service is the most popular so a widget that can include all of them is the obvious choice here and there are two leading services that cater to all bookmarking needs: Addthis and Sharethis. Use whichever you like the most, both their social_bookmarking widgets are awesome and they do work wonders in terms of user interaction!
