St. Louis Arch

Gateway Arch

This past weekend I flew to St. Louis to visit a good friend. We did the obligatory touristy things which included going to in the arch! This web site caters to several different activities located in and around the Arch, including the Arch, riverboat tours, helicopter tours, bike rentals, Museum of Westward Expansion, etc.

Intended audience: TOURISTS!

Usefulness of content: The content of the site is particularly useful for planning your trip to the Gateway Arch. Everything you would need to know about visiting the Arch as individuals or as a large group.

Consistency of design: I really like the design of this site. They break the information into chunks so that it's easy to parse through the information. This is always a pet peeve of mine when navigating through web pages. Links are used throughout the text to allow for further details. I think one of the strong points of this website is that each page is displayed in the same format so you get used to where information is on each sub-page.

Ease of navigation: You can rely on the menu on the top with drop down sub-menus as well as the side bar menu within each individual page. The top menu is consistent and is always there for a user to navigate back to the beginning of a search.
