Removal of Drop-Down Menus
Research done by Dave Dobbins suggested that by not having drop-down menus on our
website, the time to access the site would be significantly reduced. A test site was
established to test Dave's hypothesis. Several people compared access time to both the test
site and the current site, and most of them found that the access time to the test
site was reduced 1/3 to 1/2 the time needed to access the current site.
Consequently, it was determined to remove the drop-down menus, because many members had expressed
frustration at the length of time it took for the Computer Club website to appear.
Removal of the drop-down menus not only speeds up access to this website, it will also make
maneuvering within the site faster.
To access any area of the website, simply click on an item in the navigation bar, and all
the links that were in the drop-down menu for that item will be displayed on the next
page.
