I'm still in the early phases of my project in terms of design and general direction. The major obstacle I am facing in regards to designing the website is organization. The website I am working with has an extraordinary amount of texts and links, and my main objective at the moment is attempting to design a diagram in which I can reduce both the number of texts and links on the website.
I discussed some potential options with the people I work with at Friend's of Patapsco, and they recommended focusing on creating links that can help general groups of visitors find information relevant to their needs. For example, a link leading to a page for volunteers that are coming to the site specifically stating what is needed of them. Another page for potential donors that illustrates the importance and significance of the group, and so on.
I want to create a website that provides simplistic navigation for each group, yet at the same time I want to be careful not to provide overlapping or repeating information. I want something that can be accessed by both everyone, while at the same time easily catering to their specific needs without boring them with unnecessary details that don't interest them. This layout task is my major challenge right now.
