Central PanelCentral PanelShort introduction of the faculty: Warwick is
presented as “one of Britain's most dynamic and prosperous universities” and the department is
declared “of international reputation” for excellence in teaching and reserch
Central panel considers again the links proposed in vertical menu and gives a short explanation of the topics that we
can find in this section.
Every link is associated with a SHAPE: a star, a triangle, a sphere, an ear.
But apparently there aren’t connections between them: shapes haven’t got a particular meaning that
identify the section of the site.
USABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITYUSABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY
HOW ATTRACTS THE ATTENTION OF THE USERHOW ATTRACTS THE ATTENTION OF THE USER
There aren’t relevant aspects for catch the interest of the user.
Simplicity could make the page more clear but the poor facade and the apparent confusion certainly don’t help for a positive visual impact of the site.
There are no aspects connected with the ancient tradition of the discipline but not even about the news of the subject, there are no offers or perspectives for students.
There are some information repeated in the page: unclear, find information is not easy
There is a SEARCH ENGINE
HOW FIND THE DEPARTMENT’S SITE FROM THE HOMEPAGE:HOW FIND THE DEPARTMENT’S SITE FROM THE HOMEPAGE:Is difficult to find the page because the Department of Philosophy is considered as part of Social Science Faculty
“Quick links” “Department and services”
“Faculty of social studies”
