Minn. Public Schools www.isd77.k12.mn.us DESIGN • The home page is
devoted almost entirely to links to site information areas and misses
opportunities to make the opening screen functional and inviting. The key
central portion of the home page is a random list of “Recent Updates,”
including a “Back to School” newsletter that was still up in February.
This page needs to be reformulated and developed. —Ken Royal • The
“100 Best Communities” designation on the home page is impressive, but
it should be hot so users can click on the graphic and get more
information. The meaning of the “Smart Starts @ Your Library” section
is also vague and needs to include descriptive information. —Zach Miners
NAVIGATION • The main menu is relegated to the left margin of the page
but should be more prominent. The pop-up menus for most of the topics are
effective, though it is not possible to jump to the various sections

be of interest. —ZM Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. Learn
