    Before starting this review, I looked at the current site to get a better understanding behind only 2 buttons, in the navigation.

    I have to say that I think this wire frame is better laid out than the current site, as it's not as jumbled.

    One of things, I found awkward on the current site, is how the content area sits under the side statistics / related essays.

    I also think that this wire frame seems a little more intuitive with the sub menu "stuck on your essay" under the main nav, I see that you can minimize it, I think it should only minimisable, once you have logged in.

    In this mock up the "view full essay...." is this a button, or does it have a Grey overlay, over the whole essay area, with the button over the top? I quite like how you have it currently on the current site...

      Hi Aaran, I'm glad you think this concept is going in the right direction. And thanks for the comment about keeping the "view this essay" button inline. Lisa made a similar comment, so it seems I should really consider this. All the best, Jens

      Hi Aaran - in case you are interested I posed an updated version of this concept.
