Handbooks Wireframe – v2

Handbook-wireframe-01Based on feedback from the handbooks wireframe posted last week, here is a new one I worked up, which includes the following changes:

  • More text and fewer images – This is probably closer to how a typical handbook page would look, which we would expect to have more written content and fewer illustrations than was shown in the first wireframe.
  • “Checklist” in the overview section – This would allow readers to determine at a glance what will be covered on the handbook page.
  • Added subheadings – To get a better sense of how subheadings would work in a handbook layout I added a few h3 headings. Lesser headings (h4-h6) are not represented but would follow suit. Note that subheadings are also displayed as a nested list in the TOC to show hierarchy.
  • Content box for displaying code – Styling would be similar to the other alert boxes, with a background color and icon.  Though not illustrated here, it would be ideal to use a syntax highlighter as well.
  • “Next Steps” section at the bottom – This is a good place to link to related pages within the handbook, as well as other external resources.
