You have had a look around the website. What do you think?

Let me know all your negative points please - I can then try to fix them!

Note that I do have a long list of everything you have requested so far, it just takes time to add them all. Some of them are just too much work right now, but maybe for the future!

When you arrive on the Home / landing page it does not look quite right. It almost looks under construction. I think there should be a clearer title or heading such PHB or Care Budgets.

I was confused when I click on the tabs, Source code and View Source from the home page. I think I am probably not meant to see these. If you can't get rid of them put a 'friendly' message on such as - Technical stuff - please ignore!'

I second what Helen said, the website doesn't actually feel very accessible. I suspect many people would struggle to navigate it. Perhaps a paired down version would be better? As a Dyslexic person, I hate the small fonts!

Brillaint site, dont know if I've just deleted post.

Like the way its set up, though take in to consideration what people say, re intial look, I'm afraid thats wiki for you, not sure you can do a lot about that.

Re access - would be good to refer to other websites or info on how to make things accessable for individuals using their own phones and computers/tablets etc. Rather than make it completely accessable for all, as that's in practise impossible - remember requirement is reasonable adjustments.

Links ( hyper links cpuld be shorter/clearer ue back, next, eye rather than the whole link to page.

Tried some of the other questions on front page woudnt let me right anything. Noticed needed titles then post perhaps this could be put as one. Title and post?

overwhelmed a little with all of the templates but also good to know they are there should they be needed. Its clean and simple though and I found it easy to navigate

I found it easy to navigate through once I have logged in and had a good look around a few times, and I have learnt quite a bit more by doing so. It's definitely what is needed.

There's lots of information but I've always felt overwhelmed at having lots of options to download and all the different formats. It's hard to navigate back to the home page so an easily visible back and home button are essential. Needs more photos/ pictures

I also think the style of some Facebook group is a good one- having a search function for specific issues on the main landing page as well as a separate tab with permanent files on. Graphics and photos on those sites are always quite engaging

Very hard to type an answer to all the richness and things to comment on about the whole website so I'll just make a couple of comments here- I think perhaps even more images could help and making the text a bit bigger so that it's a bit easier to read and look at.

I like the content tab on the left and found that useful.

I believe that one of the drivers for the development of the website was how tough it can be for people to set up a personal health budget from scratch- however I think that rather than having statements like "planning your staff rota is hard" or "when you're starting out.. it will seem like there's a mountain to climb" might make people feel even more daunted than they already are and could just be changed a little to words like "planning your staff rota can be hard sometimes" or " it might seem like there's a mountain to climb". These are small changes but will make a difference to the "tone" of the information, in my view.


Couple of things I spotted: the recording medication word document example - when you download it is not the medication document but a staff rota change page. The last sentence on the "welcome and what this is" page which starts " we are not saying" doesn't seem to me to read as sense as a sentence? The recruitment advert- It's great that the website has real examples because I know that's what people are often searching for- however I've also heard many people say that the most effective staff adverts start with a description of someone as a person,- with who they are and what they like to do- to engage people- rather than with a list of problems/needs, so maybe if between us all we can find an example like that it would be good to share?

I cant explain why but I dislike where it has "Click here to download in Microsoft Word format. Click here to view in Google Docs format. Click here to download in PDF format."

Maybe icons are needed or maybe you click into which version you require before you see the list of policies

Think some of the documents could have a fuller description of what they are .Some I didn't know what they were until I opened them.
