[BNM] Site review: www.exhalebrighton.co.uk

[Louise Hewitt]

Hi James,

A 30-second UX review gives me (apart from it's utter awesomeness):

Home page:
- subcribe to list box and buttoncould be easily muddled with a search box
(placement and design), so might be overlooked by those not wishing to
search and frustrate those who do.
-lots of content, little flow. It's all good, but let your eyes go soft and
they don't know where to land. I think this is mainly because of the blue
badge - moving this (maybe to the bottom of the yellow header on the
right-hand) could help users to flow onto the nav and then down past the
banner to the content.
- purpose? what's the most important thing she wants users to do on the
site? book classess? contact her? whatever it is, it might be worth adding
an additional push to that content on the end of the right column content -
just to keep them focused.

Navigation:
- Notebook is the only label I had to think about. Cute, but I think most
people would recognise 'blog' quicker - 1 out of 6 aint bad!
-  the border does need to extend up around the current tab to complete the
metaphor.

Contact:
- form boxes would be easier to grasp if they all aligned (left and right
edges) and the button was aligned right (but most IAs will argue about this
stuff till chucking out time, so do whatever you prefer!)

But superbly excellent. Lots of great labels (like 'my name is', 'my email
address is'. Testomonials work well and the whole 'look and feel' is very
supporting of understanding the content. Bravo.

Good luck with the business,

Lou.
