DESIGNERS: Questions to Ponder

We want to represent the Information Structure of Seton Hall University Main Campus. You need to determine the layout and design of each page. Here are some specific questions. You should not be concerned with the technical aspects (our developers will handle those if possible). However, you need to be able to provide or generate all necessary graphics images yourself.

	What is the color scheme to use for Background color and/or Background Image Color of regular text Color of links Color of links that have been followed
	What are the common features of each page. Examples could be a logo + title on the top, then horizontal rule, then the rest of the info; at the bottom (or top, or anywhere) should be a menu to go 'back', 'next', 'up', or something. Should the re be a main 'index' page reachable from every page that allows you to jump directly to any other page ?
	What graphics elements do we want to use, if any. Example could be colored bullets, colored horizontal lines, animated images, up/down arrows, colored buttons, etc.

Details of our Task

Here are a few suggestions for some details of our website, things that we may or may not want to do. All questions above should be viewed with these (or similar) suggestions in mind.

	We need page for each lab on campus, showing the location, layout, computer types, opening hours, etc of each
	We want to find where a particular hardware item is located, how we get there, when it's available
	We need detailed descriptions of the software that's available in labs and in general
	We need a list of people available for help
	We may want: real-time 'load' report (i.e. which computers at what labs are busy/free), which person is located where in real time, etc
	Searchable FAQ list, where people can search for questions about computers, lab, wordperfect, email, or everything else.
