ADDIS: Analysis and Web Design for an Extranet Application
"I showed everyone your Web interface for ADDIS. Oohs and ahs
filled the room. ...everyone loved your designs!"
 ADDIS, which stands for
Alaska Development Disabilities Information System, is an extranet
application used by Alaskan providers of services to consumers with
developmental disabilities. It provides bi-directional information sharing with
the state of Alaska's developmental disabilities management information
system.
Under contract with one of
the co-development organizations, we analyzed existing functional and database information
and created the Web design.
***
As shown below, we designed two-tiered navigational tabs that put
all 20 application functions just one or two clicks away.
We incorporated images of Alaska's natural beauty to add a pleasing touch to
the serious information content. Then we color coordinated the tabs to
reinforce the uniqueness of each section, some of which have like-named content
such as "addresses" and "contacts".
Notice, too, the compact organization of and easy access to the application's
five common links: logout, about, help, meditrack, and website.
***
Many of the application's functions have view, update, and add capabilities.
The following screenshots show our design approach for handling these
capabilities. Button colors match the section colors, and button labels (e.g.
accept changes, cancel update) are consistent throughout the application—making
the application easy to learn and use.
