Project
A-to-Z Directory
City and County of Denver
Created: 2004
Goal
Add a feature to aid site navigation.
Scope of Work
To improve usability of the city's Web site without changing core navigational elements, I created an A-to-Z directory. Instead of just an outline of the site's information architecture, the directory was user-centric and focused on commonly requested Webmaster inquiries, popular pages, and other topics.
I began the project with a strong understanding of what items should be included. I outlined and organized my own lists of topics and then explored the site maps and directories on other government Web sites. Before launching the page, I sought the input of citywide content editors who helped identify discrepancies and omissions.
It quickly became one of the top twenty pages on the site.
