2 Site Deconstruction: Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum

Executive Summary

The Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum web site was deconstructed to reveal both the strengths and weaknesses in its armature. These insights will facilitate a more robust structure that will enhance users’ ease of navigation and orientation within the site. The site outline and structural/functional diagram in this report record both the architecture of the site and the relationships between its pages.

Strengths in the current structure of the site include consistent global navigation throughout the site, extensive cross-linking based on conceptual groupings, and mostly-accurate breadcrumb trails. More problematic aspects of the structure include the following:

• Large portions of the site are inaccessible through direct navigation routes Most notable is the section titled, ‘See What’s Here.’ Pages in this section are widely available through cross-links from other sections, but there is no way to directly access the section or quickly grasp its scope. Moreover there is no local navigation to ensure all pages in this section are accessible. Including this content in navigation menus and/or integrating it into other sections would ensure that users can easily return to pages after they’ve left them.

• Section landing pages conflict with local navigation menus The similarity between the lists of links on the landing pages and the lists of links on local navigation menus obscures the relationships between pages. For example, the links listed on the landing page for ‘Plan Your Visit’ include only two of the seven pages in the section. The consistent styling and position of local links and cross-links implies an inaccurate relationship, allowing users to wander unintentionally into other sections of the site. Explicitly distinguishing the two types of links will help users orient themselves.

• Breadcrumbs don’t always match hierarchy Occasionally breadcrumbs are incorrectly coded. For example, the label ‘exhibit’ is used interchangeably with ‘explore’ in the breadcrumb trail for the ‘Matthaei Botanical Gardens’ sub- section of ‘See What’s Here.’ A careful retooling of the breadcrumb coding will assist many users.

• Local navigation menus rely on mouse rollovers Requiring users to mouse over a menu for viewing and clicking impedes accessibility for all users, and particularly for users with disabilities. The menu disappears once the mouse is out of its range, and there is no way to keep it active for easy reference. Moreover, the ranges currently overlap each other, making some local menus all but impossible to click on. An example of this is on the home page where the ‘Come Learn’ menu is covered by the ‘Get Involved’ menu. Changing the rollover effect to an on-click one would help solve this problem.

• Menu items occasionally mislinked On a few occasions mislinked items give the impression that pages are unavailable. The ‘Massasauga Rattlesnake’ page, for example, is available from the home page, but is also listed under ‘Come Learn’ where it is improperly linked to the ‘Suggested Links’ page. Likewise, ‘What’s New at MBGNA’ under the ‘What’s Happening’ menu simply leads to the section’s landing page. These errors can easily be corrected in the page coding.

• Page headings don’t always match menu labels and are reused in other pages Some menu labels are shortened versions of page headings, saving space at the expense of clarity. The link labeled ‘Learn on Your Own’ on the ‘Come Learn’ menu, for example, leads to a page titled ‘Learning on Your Own - Discovery Tools’. On the global navigation menu, ‘About’ leads to a page titled ‘About Us.’ The heading ‘About Us’ is then repeated on the ‘Cultivating Community’ landing page. Unique and consistent labeling will help users navigate with confidence.
