Abbreviated content audit for the Ephrata Fair
Content audits (in conjuction with content inventories) organize all aspects of a website--different pages, subsections, links, photos...the list goes on. While the concept of page IDs within a content inventory gave me the idea that websites were well-organized entities where everything falls into its own box, I was proven wrong as soon as I started my first content audit for the Ephrata Fair website. There are many paths to each page. This was extremely frustrating at first, trying to fit this into the content audit, but I realized it may be helpful for the user; if they miss the path to a page the first time around, there are always alternate routes to the same location. While I think this idea of multiple paths to one destination has some valid reasons, the organization of this particular site makes it more hurtful than helpful.
