Page Description Diagram
Main call to action
Gets users thinking about the brand and specific actions they can make.
Sign-up
A call to action that encourages peo-ple to sign up for recently added con-
tent on the site.
Featured article or essay
Shows the first paragraph of an article with associated image, as well as the
day it was published and the number of comments made.
Latest entries
A short listing of the latest articles or essays that have been posted. There
should be between 5-7 shown on the home page. The featured article should not be displayed in this list.
Search
A useful site search should always be available on the page to allow users an alternative method for finding your content.
Link list
A list of semi-recently added link con-tent. This list should contain 5-7 links with date and comment meta infor-mation for each.
About company

Most of the information that is cur-rently listed in the footer should re-
main there. The contact and address information can easily be moved to the contact page, though. We also recommend adding in some naviga-tional links, where possible.
Notes
The homepage has been shifted to emphasize content that’s currently buried elsewhere in your site. The pro-posed navigation structure reinforces this goal.
The home page should provide a clean path to the various sections of the site.
