Comment from viewer:
The viewer has
to wade through all of the information in order to benefit.
Ms. S. G.
Answer from the Editor:
Your point came
to me as I was preparing the content for this site –- data
frankly, that was getting to be more voluminous than I expected. Insurance is an off-putting subject,
and more importantly, difficult to digest.
Doug, the web designer, apparently
saw the problem immediately.
Without a word from me, he entered my data -- but, in small
batches (segments). The viewer
has to click to move to a succeeding segment under the main subject
(Medicare, Medigap, etc.), or to move to another main subject. Therefore, I edited to make certain
that each segment, consisting of one or more topics was complete in
itself. I also used highlighted
headings to identify the “stories” that was to follow. As well, I highlighted portions of
text I especially wished to bring to the viewer’s attention.
As a result,
the viewer at this web site has flexibility. The viewer can surf, clicking from
page to page of a subject (Medicare, Medigap, etc.) to ascertain, with
the help of highlighting, if the desired info is in that segment (on
that particular page). If the
viewer finds the info and wishes to print it, he/she will be printing
just that page -- it will be unnecessary to print the entire subject
(of Medicare, Medigap etc.). And
if the viewer can’t find the information in the content of this
web site, he/she is only a click away from the Resources Page – a
listing of twenty-five government, non-profit and private contractor
information sources. All of this
ties into my aim – to, in fact, make it unnecessary for the
viewer “to wade through” a lot of information in order to
benefit.
Ms. G: If it
wasn’t for your comment, I might never have explained the unique
design of this web site, and the way it expedites the search for
information. Many thanks.
Stay Tuned!
