Suggestions to pass along to Scholastica for the web site - main page

• I would drop the text animations (text dropping down when appearing)
• There are multiple "tweaks" about the visual design that can be
  improved and are not necessarily critical, for example, removing the
  ISSN number from the welcome header, this information is correctly
  displayed in the About; the header image is way to large, it wastes
  useful space, The RSS feed should be divided in categories (blog,
  articles, news) so the user can choose.
• I am not sure if this is possible, but something to consider, the
  text should adjust to the size of the window, in 4 different devices,
  the text sticks to ~640 px, which wastes so much space in the side
  bars. Again, this is a question of learning how the content management
  system is working and adjust accordingly
• Footer; Include navigation links, useful when reading long tests and
  avoids scrolling up.
• Switch the drop window of text when clicking the Abstract link for
  articles. Redirect to the article's landing page instead.
• Instead of a single image, potentially have a carousel of images for the index site, each image showing an abstract of the different categories of the journal. This could
  alternatively also show recent articles in the future.
• Include feeds from social media (at least links).

Some of these we might be able to get them to change easily - if the fixed text size is causing a problem on smaller devices, they would be interested in that. We can make the header smaller now, but then we lose the background image. Others, we can suggest, and see what they think.
