SHU Chapel Assignment


Irrelevant in this blog, I know, but my Professor has given us a homework assignment in which my group is assigned to give suggestions about improving the website concerning the Chapel they are currently building (Sacred Heart University) to check out the website click here http://www.sacredheart.edu/pages/18984_live_webcam_university_chapel_construction.cfm

My suggestions for the SHU Chapel website would be:

1) I think that there should be some text before the links, explaining why the school decided to build the chapel and just an overall paragraph discussing its importance and what it will add to the atmosphere at Sacred Heart. There are links to navigate in which more information can be obtained, but I think a simple paragraph would suit the website and provide a background that would entince people to click on the links below.

2) I also think that the top of the page should not say Live WEBCAM: University Chapel, it should say Sacred Heart University Chapel, or what ever they intend on calling it. That way it establishes some familiarity with the visitor

3) The picture of the chapel as a finished product should be larger than the picture of the chapel that is in construction now. The chapel that is in construction is not very eye appealing and while it is a good idea to get people involved with the construction of the chapel, a large picture of the finished product will remind the site visitor just how good it is going to look when it is finished.

4) The two pictures of the chapel should be side to side with the links underneath. I did not like how they aren't in comparison with one another. The link text, format permitting, should be a little larger and the list of links should be centered under the picture. The quote should also be placed at the top of the page, as it is a nice quote and might be ignored and overshadowed by the links that are placed about it.

Anyway these are my suggestions, let me know if you have any more!

Vquzeshuf,
Jess :-p
