...that are making suggestions to the structure of a website that are bad and will screw everything up?
I'm currently working on a project for a smaller website (with a tight budget). I've done a couple of workshops and have had some discussions with the clients project group to come up with a working information structure for the site. Everything came together and we agreed on a structure. The problem aroused when the project leader showed the structure for his boss (who is v-e-r-y determined) and the boss insisted that one specific group of information had to be in the top-navigation (I had placed it one level down with other related material). My problem is that the boss is in a position to veto pretty much everything and/or the project manger is not strong enough to stand up to his boss in these matters. So even if I get the project group to agree that we can't change the structure to accommodate the boss' suggestion (which shouldn't be a problem) I'm not sure that they can convince the boss. Have any of you been in a similar situation or do you have any suggestions on how to resolve the issue? I'm thinking about talking to the boss and see if I have more luck convincing him, but somehow I feel it won't be worth the effort. (Had I had more time/money I would have done user-tests to show that the idea is indeed bad) Regards Björn ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
