Online Class 10: Web Project

I am doing my web project for the company I work for: Osha Services. The goal is to create a research database and resource website that will:

1. Be the number one source of OSHA information in Trinidad and Tobago and
   
2. Drive more business

The Design
In order to achieve this we are looking to use a more circular site structure where multiple pages are linked to each other. The primary source of information will be the TT OSH Act which will drive the rest of the resource website. We hope to integrate our existing newsletter with this website. Additionally, we want to incorporate multimedia videos and interactive activities as a means to teach the material in a more web friendly way.

Design Paradigm
I will be emphasizing the following techniques in creating this website:

• use bullets and chunking for easier readability
• try to illustrate with pictures and videos
• avoid flash to increase download speeds
• try to format the page to fit the screen entirely, minimizing scroll
• incorporate corporate branding throughout the website
• provide search engines and linked outlines for easier accessibility

Overall, I think this will be a challenging project but once the site is up, I think it will drive a lot of business. Do you have any suggestions for making the website user friendly?
