What is it/Where was it?
This element appeared at the bottom of many pages.
What didn't work:
When I clicked on the links, they were actually inactive, and I found the empty box on the left odd. However, I like the idea of this element.
What did work:
It could be really successful as an element that was found on the bottom of each page. It helps people to navigate and it provides a level of consistency.
Translation to my site:
For my own purposes, I think the sections I would include would be contact, back to home button, and the final box might be something like a "related topics" tab.I like the idea of having this element provide consistency for the viewer. They know that no matter what page they go to, they can find this information and be taken back to the home page. On my website, there are so many links and tabs that people are sure to get lost. However, if I use this kind of feature on each page, it will help with navigation and help them to stay on that particular topic and related topics.
For my purposes, I think I would make the design smaller overall and also thin it/elongate it. I would keep the box like shape and the dividers and maybe that little design at the top. I would also chose some different images to go with the words and use my website's colors.
