Current Lux Site Map

After going through the Lux website I put together a general site map of their current website with some issues that I think need to seen to.

Under the 'Home page' there is a lot of information with the logos etc and Chris wants the logos to be a big part of the website and promoted so this works. However because the homepage is so busy with this the homepage needs to only have necessary information. There is a headline on the homepage "Be one of our ambassadors for 2015" which links to the 'Get involved' page on the menu. I think this is unnecessary for two reasons; 

1st: Chris stated in his brief that there are no specific direct objectives he wanted to promote such as promoting people to become ambassadors he simply wanted the website to build up excitement. Therefore I don't think this statement needs the extra promotion that it is getting on the homepage. 2nd: This link simply takes you to the 'Get Involved' page, this is also the first link you see rather than the "Be one of our ambassadors for 2015" link. There does not need to be two links for the same thing on the homepage it is unnecessary.

Under the 'Get Involved' page there is a lot of text and an email to contact, no imagery.

Under the 'About Lux' there is a round up of large text with general information and then smaller text that goes into more detail, I think that it is important to have the time and dates on this page. There is also a link to Lux's Twitter and Facebook profile. no imagery again.

Under the '2014 Lightworks' there are three main headings Water Front, Lane Ways and Secret Locations. Under each of these headings are different areas of the light show. When you click on an art work each piece has its on profile with information on the work and a google map link for where it is. From here you can use arrows left to right to move through the different profiles. 

A major issue under the '2014 Lightworks' page is there is no direct link to  the 'Full Program' page or the 'Festival Map'. The full program can only be seen once you click on a profile. I think this page is very important to see the whole event and be able to compare days therefore should not be hidden away here but rather under the 'About Lux' menu. Then to get to the map, another very important part of the website, you need to scroll through all of the arrows between profiles and not until you get to the end can you find it. Again this should not be hidden away but under the 'About Lux' page.
