Redesigning Ancientrails is my class project.\u00a0 I want a fresh look and a more cohesive idea for it.\u00a0 Again, any reader ideas are welcome.\u00a0 What do you like and what would you like to see more?\u00a0 What don&#8217;t you like, would you like to see less?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nick<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">I have a website, ancientrails, that I&#8217;d like to  re-design.\u00a0 Perhaps not so much at the html level, but at the look,  feel, purpose level.\u00a0 The html work can come later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Not real sure how to go about this, but I imagine asking questions  like:\u00a0 what is it?\u00a0 Why do I do it?\u00a0 Who is it for?\u00a0 What look best  expresses answers to these and other questions?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Charles<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<p>I  think your initial questions are a great start. I hope you&#8217;ve been  thinking about them. One of the most important questions to ask is what  you want the website to do. Not necessarily what it says, or who you  want to visit it, but rather what do you want people to do after  visiting? Should they visit more than once? If so how often? How would  someone find your website?<\/p>\n<p>Answering  these questions is the beginning of content strategy. Apart from how  the site works, and actually functions, it&#8217;s important to have a  cohesive idea of what it is your putting on the site and how it should  be organized. Should the area of discussion be very broad, or very  narrow? or broad in some topics and narrow in others? And how does that  related to the people you want to communicate with and the effect you  want to have on them?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mid-Summer\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Waning Honey Flow Moon Mary came into town later last night after a rotten airline experience.\u00a0 Gee, is this something new?\u00a0 Today, we&#8217;ll have everyone here for at least a few hours.\u00a0 Diane&#8217;s plane leaves around 6:00 pm.
