"Site Navigation"

Does anybody think the navigation of our site is confusing.

Please answer YES or NO and if YES state WHY.

Ta

I reckon SR should hold an EEGAD where we redesign the site layout/sidebar look and the best one gets their stuf put on the site as the new design and wins a GAD.

I think yu should clean up some of the sections.

I mean, EA Games?

How many people actually use that? If they're anything like me they just click the console they have and select the game from the list there.

And I really don't think you need those mini sites, Pokemon, Gran Turismo etc.

Genius.

aahh, cleaver :o)

Thats quite nice. I like the way you have headings at the top of the links, Gadgets, PC etc..

That looks pretty good. A bit neater. But why is the N64 link in turquoise (I think that's how you spell it...) and all the others white? Or is that just me...

Oh, and for Tony, NO I don't think the current layout is confusing really, but that's probably cos I'm used to it... I think it would be for someone new to the site...

I thought the those were ok actually. I found what I was after pretty quickly with those 'pop up' sub-menus.

I'd say Yes and no.

I think you have to many links down the side, plus the ones above and below the banners, I think they could be cut down.

For instance, you seem to have a link to 'All PC' repeated 8 times, plus DVD Hardware and DVD Movies link to the same page, so couldn't you just have that as one 'DVDs' link?

The PC split is good, (PC parts, PC RAM etc) but you could just have one link to the PC site, and start the navigation for those items from there.

Also, freeola seems to have a lot of links, for the boadband, control panel etc, this could also be put as one link to freeola.com and let it go from there.

Maybe have the SR telesales, SR Shops, SR Members etc under a 'Customer Services' link, or something to that effect.

I wouldn't call your site navigation confusing, you couldeasily leave it as it is, but I would say it is a bit of a heavy load.
