Hi Nick,

I have always thought that our home page should be split into 3 distinct areas.
  • Inspectors
  • Realtors
  • Consumers
Each area should link to a simple landing page of topics that would be of prime interest to those groups

Regards

Gerry

What about home sellers and home buyers being split?

What about commercial inspectors?

What about Mold?

This is going to be a Wiki built home page so get your thoughts voiced now.

The home page should:

- have a clear statement of what InterNACHI is.

- A "find and inspector button" should be foremost and obvious near the top without all the clutter that is there now.

- provide informative link buttons for each the type of visitor likely to come to NACHI.org

- video or link to more about InterNACHI would be great

- the landing page should easily direct the visitor to his/her area of interest.

- almost everything that is on the current page should be on internal pages after an area of interest is chosen

Excellent idea !!

That would be a good way to get "approximate" traffic results via clicks through to the Inspectors section, the Realtors section and the consumer section. I'd love to see how many visits to this site are actually realtors and consumers.

A link to green building material could be on any of the vistor landing pages except not on the front page. The current front page is extremly busy and overloaded.

That front page has some of the right info but it is boring and not very organized.
