It adds to the loading time of your site, forces your users to make an extra click and well, it's just a complete waste. As it is, you never link back to that page so really it's just a dead waste of time. Websites use the convention of the "home" section to introduce a site and provide a starting point for new visitors. The only time you should use a splash page is to either help establish branding for information rich websites (although many will disagree with me on that one) or if the website requires plugins then the shlash page is used to inform the user about the requirements of the website and provide support information and links the the technologies it uses. [quote] currently, CardInfo words are a bold blue. What's wrong with that? ARe u saying it's confusing because blue is normally reserved for hyperlinks? [/quote] It's confusing because when I hover the mouse cursor over the so called "link" the cursor doesn't change to the usual hand cursor for clickable elements so how is anyone meant to know it's clickable?... Sure, you have a whole paragraph of text to explain that, but having to read that before knowing that those elements are clickable is a bad idea. The colour isn't really much of a problem; the problem lies in what typographic elements you're using to distinguish these links. First of all, making something bold does not make it look like a link. Secondly, making something a different colour doesn't make it look like a link either. By their very nature, links are underlined, have a different colour to the rest of the text and the cursor changes when you hover the mouse over the link. Boldness doesn't really factor into the equation here. The only link like treatment you?re using is the blue colour and by itself this just isn't enough to make it work. I also suggested making those links a different colour so that the user could easily identify the "card info" links from the other links. If you?re to add underlines and mouse over cursor changes to those links you'll want to change the colour to help distinguish that. Make sense now? Loading...
