This site is for a gold course in Majorca, Spain. The web design team have created a fantasy gold island where each part of the island you scroll over changes as you roll over it. For example: When you roll over the hotel it folds down to reveal a bed and a red line extends out to a pop up window that appears as the link to a specific part of the site. In this case accommodation and bookings.

When you click on the link a second island appears with a closer look at the hotel component of the site. Clicking on a different part of the hotel brings up another menu that has photos and information.

Of course this is all easily bypassed by using the menu at the side. This choice of interaction with the map or just using the side menu is good because it provides people with options on how they use the website. With many rich golfers being old men this is important because they may find the interactive section either hard or frustrating to use, so its good to have the option.

Its good to consider who is going to be looking at your website. In my case I am aiming my site at the arts community in Hobart an further abroad but also at arts industry professionals. Its important to keep in mind that people in this field might not have the time or skill to navigate a site too complex so its important to provide alterantives to interactivity or make them very simple so everyone can use and enjoy them.
