I started the project with the understanding that the existing site was not very current or useful, and needed to be replaced. One of the issues was an inconsistent navigation that changed from one page to another. Another was that the existing content was generally outdated. As a whole, the site was not very pleasing to look at, and was difficult to use.

Numerous page layouts and colour schemes were proposed, the result of which is visible below. The new site was built from the ground up, with thought put towards usability, accessibility, and degradability.

The end result was a huge improvement. All the links from the original side navigation were gathered into a collapsing menu on the left. The links were grouped by department, so it was easier to know what a particular link is for simply by seeing which department it is listed under. There is also a top menu which groups some of the most commonly-used links in one place. This is beneficial to those users who do not know what page they are looking for, since the user can check the most common links and go from there.

No link is available, as the work was for a government intranet site.
