New page - Listing for tools and web services (Title to be determined

[RobinaSanderson]

As a user of ALA application and web services I want a page listing all these things So that I can see all the things ALA does and quickly get to them

Requirements:

1. Create a page - name to be determined
2. Have a heading "ALA developed web applications"
3. List and link to all items currently available under the Menu "ALA Apps"
4. Have a heading "ALA web services"
5. Link to the page http://api.ala.org.au/
6. Provide a link to the page under the About Us header menu, after the Indigenous Knowledge link
7. Provide a link to the page in the footer under Indigenous Ecological Knowledge in the About Us grouping of links.

Notes:

1. do we want to duplicate links to the Spatial portal and other apps?
2. possible names aregiven below, Adam to check for useability:
   • ALA sites
   • ALA web applications
   • ALA developed tools
   • ALA sites and services

Re "Move here the content on the page http://api.ala.org.au/" - I don't think this content should be copied to WordPress; it's dynamic content in a separate app; it would make sense to have an "ALA web services" nav link in WordPress that points to http://api.ala.org.au/

I think the websites list page should include Spatial Portal etc - it should be a reasonably full list of our sites.

Thanks @matthewandrews - I've changed the story to a link.

Hi @aatteia - if you haven't already let matt know the title for this page, could you please add it here? Thanks

[matthewandrews]

I've put together this list - @aatteia is designing the page now.

Below are audits on the label options for a page pulling together “links to other apps and tools e.g Phylolink, Profiles”. The tier 2 label options for this page have been tested with two tier 1 menu item options “Learn about the ALA” and “Start exploring”.

Goals: The purpose of the page is to be a starting point and an overview of the sites and services that the ALA provides.

Tier 2 label options to be paired with tier 1 label ‘Learn about the ALA’

Tier 2 label options to be paired with tier 1 label ‘Start exploring’

Findings:

• In both label audits ‘ALA sites & services’ and ‘sites & services’ tested well and scored highest.
• Using ‘ALA’ in front of the labels diminished the scoring for concise and front loaded and ultimately was found to be redundant. This prompted a reassessment of the labels originally put forward.
• Although it is suitable for both T1 menu items, the page is a better fit in ‘Start exploring’ than in ‘Learn about the ALA’.
• With the above in mind, the recommendation is either ‘Sites & services’ or ‘Sites & services index’. They both scored well. I recommend ‘Sites & services’ as it scores well across the board and has a balance between specific and concise.

Here is the scoring guide:

[matthewandrews]

"Sites & services" sounds good. And what about "Learn about the ALA" vs "Start exploring"?

[RobinaSanderson]

As a suggestion, I'd put this under Start Exploring because it is a listing of things you can use rather than an explanation and I think the Learn about the ALA heading makes me think I'll be getting information about the ALA rather than links to things I can use.

Just my 2 cents and happy to go with majority rule... :-)

[aatteia]

I agree with Robina that it is a more natural fit with 'Start exploring'.

Hi @HannahScott1 - you should get an email notification to this issue because is used the "@" mention. If you didn't already know, you can "watch" issues in github using the button at the top right of the screen when the issue is open.

[matthewandrews]

OK we have the link in the 'Start exploring' nav menu now, and a placeholder Sites & services page on wpprod2017 with a not-yet-formatted list of sites.

[matthewandrews]

The Sites and services page is done - closing this issue.

[HannahScott1]

This looks great. Thanks all!
