Mid-Challenge Review 2 – Web Solutions Part 1

The old website really needs a complete makeover. But it is not just the new image and look, it's the entire structure and the way the information was presented on the site.

Community Connections (CC) works as an information hub and the website can be the main tool to broadcast the news.

The problem areas with the old website are:

• There is no dynamic content on the main page.
• No logical hierarchy in the menu system.
• It is hard to find the dynamic content. The users have to browse through the entire menu-system to find the recent activities and news.
• CC provides a notice board for the community news and all of the other community groups around Auckland use it. This is one of the most visited section of the website. It has new content almost every day. The main problem with it is that its content is not categorized; so it is very hard to search for a specific information on the board.
• The notice board is a great tool, but there needs to be more interactive tool on the site.
• The old site is based on an old CMS, but the capabilities of that system is getting very limited.

The main page of the old site: serious makeover needed :)
