Design of Internet Web Sites
• Resource-Based Web Site
• Need-Based Web Site
![Page 3: The Virtual Career Center The Internet: A Tool for Career Planning · 2017-01-03 · recruiting for specific occupations •Resources, services, and links are then related to needs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050101/5f406446a746e4082e314a91/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Resource-Based Web Sites
• Organized by
– resources and services available
– the structure of the organization
• Users select resources, services,
or links to meet their needs
![Page 4: The Virtual Career Center The Internet: A Tool for Career Planning · 2017-01-03 · recruiting for specific occupations •Resources, services, and links are then related to needs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050101/5f406446a746e4082e314a91/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Advantages
• Fast access for experienced users
• Low development costs
• Short time required for
development
![Page 5: The Virtual Career Center The Internet: A Tool for Career Planning · 2017-01-03 · recruiting for specific occupations •Resources, services, and links are then related to needs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050101/5f406446a746e4082e314a91/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Disadvantages
• Difficulty for novice users in selecting resources, services, and links that meet their needs
– Assumes ability to link resources & needs
– Difficult to predict outcomes
– Uncertainty about when help is needed
– May lead to random linking & site hopping
• Becoming overwhelmed with options
– Emphasis on comprehensiveness

Need-Based Web Sites
Three levels
1. Index (home page) list of potential users (audiences)
2. Interactive clarification of needs (simulated conversation with a practitioner)
3. Links to resources and services related to specific needs
Site map and index provides fast access for experienced users
![Page 7: The Virtual Career Center The Internet: A Tool for Career Planning · 2017-01-03 · recruiting for specific occupations •Resources, services, and links are then related to needs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050101/5f406446a746e4082e314a91/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
Need-Based Web Sites
• Elements of each link
– Description (Not actual title)
– Potential learning outcome
– Recommendations on the use of
resources provided as appropriate
• Number of links limited by working
memory requirements and quality
![Page 8: The Virtual Career Center The Internet: A Tool for Career Planning · 2017-01-03 · recruiting for specific occupations •Resources, services, and links are then related to needs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050101/5f406446a746e4082e314a91/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Need-Based Web Sites
• User identifies need - for example
– beginning student selects a program of
study related to interests
– graduating student identifies employers
recruiting for specific occupations
• Resources, services, and links are
then related to needs
![Page 9: The Virtual Career Center The Internet: A Tool for Career Planning · 2017-01-03 · recruiting for specific occupations •Resources, services, and links are then related to needs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050101/5f406446a746e4082e314a91/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Aims of the Need-Based Design
• Provide easy access to relevant,
high quality links that users
understand how to use
• Promote effective use of relevant
resources and services rather than
promoting comprehensive access to
all possible resources and services

Advantages
• Users only view resources and services related to their needs
– Site appears smaller and easier to navigate
– Users are less likely to be overwhelmed with information
• Users better understand how to use resources
• Users better understand when assistance is needed

Web Site Politics
• Control the site - control the service
• Narrow design - expertise of one
individual
• Limited collaboration - limited integration
• Web site reflects the organization
instead of the individuals served -
“My work and my office are important
and should be shown on the web site.”

Web Site Design Strategies
• Make the web site an “intelligent” site by
incorporating the expertise of the staff as
well as delivering information
![Page 67: The Virtual Career Center The Internet: A Tool for Career Planning · 2017-01-03 · recruiting for specific occupations •Resources, services, and links are then related to needs](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050101/5f406446a746e4082e314a91/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

Web Site Design Strategies
• Use staff experience to visualize what
individuals say (or could say) when
they enter a service delivery center,
and then
– respond with additional statements to
clarify user needs, or
– link to resources and services that relate
to the user needs you have identified

Web Site Design Strategies
• Start web site design by focusing on content, then design web site functioning based on available technical options
• Begin by asking the following questions: – Who does (or should) the web site serve?
– What are the needs of users?
– What resources are available (or should be available) to meet user needs?
• Then link the needs of various types of users to specific resources

Web Site Design Strategies
• Use a collaborative approach to design
rather than delegate it to one staff
member, such as a web master -
– Groups tend to make better decisions,
which can result in a more complete and better
functioning web site
– Also, remember the old adage -
“people support what they help create.”
