    Deep Linking

    Posted on Mar 25, 2010 at 4:11 PM

    The back button is rendered useless. And along those same lines, I couldn't, if I wanted to, link to any section on the home page. Deep linking is a must. Including the accordion in one of the sections.

    The header/logo doesn't link to the home page when you've click on a link.

    The teaser(?) image makes me think more of a performing artist than a church.

    The download icon in the current series doesn't relate to downloading.

    There is a complete disconnect when I click on archives (though I'm guessing this is the old design?). You'll want to put the archives in the new skin to remove that disconnect.

    Not a negative review, just posting all the problems I could see. Design looks good though :)

      All good thoughts Jason, what did you mean exactly when you mentioned the "deep linking", can you explain, thanks!

      Sure. Deep linking is having a specific link for each/any change in content. As it is, I could only link to/bookmark the page with the teaser image. If I wanted to point someone to the list of campuses, it would go to the teaser image and they'd have to figure it out.
