Alpha Phi Website

[MReed1081]

Hey ladies! I was wondering if anyone knew when the Alpha Phi Website was going to be updated. It seems as if it has been the same forever! I have noticed other panhellenic groups have upgraded their website and I think its time A-phi does the same! What do y'all think?

AOE lovin'

I remember reading in one of the last Quarterlys that the foundation portion of the website was going to be updated in the "spring". This thread made me think of it and I went out there and it looks great!

As a usability professional, I'm disappointed with the Foundation website. If you turn the images off, the site becomes nearly unusable. The designer didn't specify ALT tags in the HTML document, so the site doesn't follow the standards set by the Americans with Disabilities act for making websites accessible for visually impaired users.

Flyout menus are okay when done well.. but these aren't done well. You should never simply link to a PDF file - or any thing that will be downloaded - without telling the user that they're going to have to download a file, and what type of file it is.

The page types for the different pages are clean well-structured for the most part, but the images are muddy and aren't sharp - it just doesn't look professional.

Sorry to be a huge killjoy - but this site could have been so much better.
