Week 8: Creating the Information Page for Parks

Four of the letter pages of our website serve only informational purposes: Nature, Culture, Evening & Doing. Today I started with the first one: Nature. On this page, we show some information about the parks in Enschede, but also about natural areas around Enschede that are nearby.

First of all, I had to do some research. I used uitinenschede.nl and a website called parkeninenschede.nl to gather some knowledge about the parks and Enschede's natural surroundings. I collected this information in a spreadsheet and also downloaded an image for each park and the coordinates, because I wanted to include a button that would lead the user to a navigation in Google Maps from de Broodbode.

The user gets to see the following pages, given that he chooses parks and clicks on the "more info" button under the Ledeboerpark.

In the beginning, the user can read a short introductory text, followed by the possibility to select between different options. For Nature, the two options are “Parks in Enschede” and “Around Enschede”. The user can only click on one of the options at once, but it is easy to switch from one to another, as they don’t get hidden once an option is selected.

The selection of an option leads to the display of the belonging results that were previously hidden. By clicking on the “Read more” button, the user can obtain more information on the search result he/she is interested in. A previously hidden information box (position: fixed) opens up. After reading the text, the user can either close the information box again by clicking on the red X on the top-right of the box or navigate to the location from de Broodbode via Google Maps by clicking on the “Show route” button.
