Almost all of the navigation options are still too long in my opinion. I don’t have good ideas for shortening them, but it is a lot of reading, and then the titles are still not clear.

vmmiller commented 6 years ago

I find the following menu items too long and I think they are not simple/easy to understand:

Interaction Design on how to meet WCAG
Content Creation in How to Meet WCAG
Visual Design in How to Meet WCAG Reference
Developing in How to Meet WCAG Reference

Others which are too long and could perhaps be shortened:

Developing Accessibility Presentations & Training
Web Accessibility Laws and Policies. Couldn't this simply be "Accessibility Laws and Policies"?
First Checks for Common Accessibility Problems
How do People with Disabilities Use the Web? etc.

Probably, just needs to be fixed but let me signal it anyway: The menu items on the far right are off my screen because they are too long.

vmmiller commented 6 years ago

A bright side comment: I really like the new design. It's light, clear and refreshing. I like the way the navigation is displayed, xyz & xyz.

However, I have a nagging problem. For me, I think that "Standards/Guidelines" is not "evident" as it is not part of the main navigation whereas, in the old site, this was a clear link to this important - and well sought after - information. In my opinion, visually, this is no longer evident. I tend to ignore the information squeezed into header/footer stuff, so I really looked into the menus for this important link and only later found it. Perhaps, it's just me :)

Note: "Perspectives Videos" is displayed as a link in the google spreadsheet whereas the online version says "Users perspective videos". I think the latter is clearer than "Perspectives Videos".

vmmiller commented 6 years ago

(Functionality/Fix It issue) Under "Test & Evaluation", hovering over "Evaluation tools", there is another level of navigation. This level is lost for me, as the menu item is only partially visible on my laptop.

yatil commented 6 years ago

@vmmiller Yes, I know that the navigation is not fully functional yet, including the position on the screen.

Thanks for the thoughtful review and input, Vicki!

I'm shortening a few of the items.

About the Perspectives Videos — The content is broader than user perspectives -- a key aspect is showing the additional benefits to website owners, which is related to business case. I'd rather not re-open the name of this unless people feel strongly.

I'm closing this issue, and moved one of your comments to a new issue. https://github.com/w3c/wai-website-design/issues/80
