The document outlines the structure and design approach for the European Women Interactive Learning (EWIL) website. It discusses the originally designed structure versus the current structure, with sections for general information, partners, calendar, newsletters, photos/videos, and links. The presentation of the website is aimed to have a solid identity, easy navigation between sections with minimal menus, and balance simplicity with adequate information. Partners' involvement in providing updates and content is noted to be minor. Suggestions are requested on the forum, social media integration, and partners' views of the website.

4. Approach for the production of the webpage Have a solid Project Identity at the Homepage Provide an easy & user friendly experience to the visitor with an “one click away” concept Increased aesthetic / eye catching – interesting Incorporate a clear structure / menu / sections with minimalistic approach (menus) that don’t cover the content Fast & easynavigation from one page to another The navigation menu is at an obvious and clear point, Use “Drop down” menu with a lot of levels that stay on sight at all times during a visit Contact section

5. Design approach The Homepage of a site is the most important gives the 1st impression, must be direct, simple, use of a clear logo A balance between simplicity – complexitybalance, clear sections Consistency: follow a color - font pattern according to the logo throughout the webpage. Same colors used to all pages, size, shape and syntax to the texts used Each webpage must have a consistency of colors, background, design, use of project colors Not excessive motion to the homepage, thus not distracting from the content and the identity. Not tire with too much information, thus not decreasing the time spent at the webpage Presentation of information with little need for scrolling down
