A buzzillion ways to present multiple offers above the fold

Site Structure/Design Concept

Vignette.com has a very nice header and flash player main offer. The integration of a movie player to the right of the flash player can be a good enhancement for our home page. We’ve also talked about moving the nav below the player, similar to hp.com. Read this post about the nav concept.

Enhanced Customer Support

Here is an example from Walmart.com that displays a nice aggregate page for their support page. They also offer a “Top 5 Help Topics” section.

Yahoo.com is another example.

Flash Player Version

Here is another version of the flash player from MTV.com that is similar to what we did for the PM.com Special Offers page. This one uses a vertical scroll and does not display any controls.

Enhanced Navigation

Here are some navs that promote additional subcategories and benefits like credit.com. We can promote our special offers, articles and other resources for PM.com like this.

  • Lowes.com – easy to use navigation
  • HP.com – this site takes the nav a step further and rotates the main offer above the nav (color coding each category could be an option)

Video interaction

Use of flash video for instructional purposes. Check out the home page for roxion.com.

Flash Instructional Video

Here’s a simple flash video from Prosper.com that we could incoporate with our PM user support.

This idea could be used to “get your credit report”.

Instructional Form Fields

Instead of displaying static copy or “what is this?” links that describe each field in a form, we can use CSS to display descriptions upon clicking on each field.

Yahoo.com mail sign-up form is a good example.

This is just for FPO (results)

As a privacy regulator, it is an integral part of my Office’s role to maintain a broad understanding of the Australian community’s attitudes to privacy. For my Office to effectively reflect public opinion, it needs to keep up with the community’s attitudes to privacy, and how they may be evolving in our modern technological environment.
