Information Hoarders

I’ve worked with a number of non-profits creating a redesign for their websites. All of these groups seemed to have a similar problem. Many businesses, both non-profits or otherwise, created their original web sites over a decade ago. The web site creator was a contract hire who has long since left the company. Since the page inception, data has been continually added to update and supplement the initial starting site. Everything sits on the landing page, all at once, and few things are deleted. The result is a cluttered page with valuable information hidden under a bunch of excess, much like antiques hidden under a hoarder’s clutter.
