Headlines & Hotlinks Part 2

Personal note: I'm having a "remote linking" problem and some of my documents including the snapshots and the revision cannot be linked. For your convenience, I've listed the actual link. Hope this alleviates any confusion. Thanks for your patience!

A+ Website

STC.org is a site that exemplifies expert formatting and navigation. The homepage for the Society for Technical Communication facilitates scanning and uses headings, hyperlinks, lists, and typographical emphasis. Screenshot 1 (www.angelfire.com/alt/english4/stcscreen.doc) shows buttons, links, and a navigation bar. The headlines are appropriate, attracting the reader's attention and indexing content. Many of the hyperlinks are bulleted lists and are all active showing consistent maintenance. Page design is simplistic; minimal colors and strategic chunking help rather than hinder. Screenshot 2 (www.angelfire.com/alt/english4/stcscreen.doc) shows an eye catching central graphic is located at the middle/left of the page. (All of these positive characteristics are continuously used as you navigate the layers of the site). Copyright, disclaimer, and contact info are all easily found at the bottom. STC.org, in my opinion, is the epitome of a first class Web site.
