Hunting for the correct information is not a problem with the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s (UAH) website. While some websites lose their users among clutter or badly named tabs, UAH’s website keeps their visitors interested and on track. Since these visitors are usually families exploring the school, it is important to have an efficient website. Without this efficiency, a prospective student could be deterred from further pursuing the school. As a college website that provides information and services to prospective students, current students, and parents, the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s website successfully contains pleasurable design, vibrant readability, and fluent navigation. At first glance, the UAH website provides …show more content…
Not only is the website generally easy to use, but the navigation elements makes a visitor’s process even easier. The first element a visitor will hopefully utilize is the “I am a…” dropdown box which provides the options of “Current Student, Faculty / Staff Member, Parent, or Research Partner” (University). These links redirect the main page to whichever page the visitor desires. This saves the visitors’ time and patience because they do not have to search through various links to find this specific page. Another navigation element that helps save a visitor’s time is the “Search” box. Whether the visitor is a prospective student hoping to learn about different housing options or a parent concerned about their child’s safety, the search box provides various links to web pages regarding this information. When a visitor is redirected to a new page they can easily return to the home page by clicking on the UAH emblem in the upper left corner. While the website does not provide a link to the top of a web page, the web pages are short enough that a visitor can easily scroll to the top by themselves. With multiple navigation tools, a visitor can quickly and effectively find what they are
Overall, the website was very accessible and easy to navigate. The home page included tabs at the top labeled Health Topics, Data, and Media Centre to name a few. These tabs are helpful for the reader to find what they are looking for and may lead them to explore other topics that they weren’t necessarily looking for also. There is a convenient button along this row of tabs that looks like a house. This tab brings the navigator right back to this home page if they get too far into a certain tab and want to go back to the beginning.
The design of the website is very unique and elegant. For a new user, it’s a little overwhelming at first but after 10 minutes of use it becomes second nature.

What skills will the student learn in the classes, so that the student will know what class they will need for their future career. However, one of the plus side of the page is that is very little blank space, which make the page look organized. Furthermore, this website needs to offer a clear and sharp layout of its content, that allowing the students’ to clearly grasp the information presented. Since the pages fairly basic, because it only has a navigation bar on the left- hand side that allows easy access to the different parts of the website, which these different parts of the website are full of unnecessary information, since it full of outdate information, blank pages, basic information about the major, and links that don’t work. Therefore, I think the website structure should be easy for users to navigate. However, each section should have the necessary information for the students to succeed. The layout should help information to pop out by highlight what is the most important element that the viewer need to know or see. Therefore, to make information to pop out the website should be an interactive experience to bring in more student to this major. In addition, the department should remove all the broken links and the links that sent students to empty pages with no information.
