Developer Notes:

Responsive Calculators - Embedded

  • Links that will bring up a responsive calc, either in-line in the current page, or in a pop-up window
  • Embedded, live calcs, stationary in page.

Page Labels, Breadcrumbs

  • We need to ensure users know what page they're on - page labels. Breadcrumbs?

Section Header Pages

  • If we have a section header in navigation, like Tools & Advice, when the user clicks on that section header link, he should be taken to a Tools & Advice page (summary?), not to the 1st page under Tools & Advice - the 1st page is now Mortgages.

Individual Calc Page Content

The standalone home loan calc is up at https://simply-visual.squarespace.com/homeloan.  The calc pages shouldn't (don't need to) repeat the contents of the cacl - title and calc description. What's the basic idea for calc page content?

  • Amit suggests a link - top, left, right - to a Camtasia-like video showing how to solve for 3 different scenarios.
  • Amit suggests top bullet items that show all the dropdown questions, if they exist in the calc (say, "use the dropdown selections..."
  • Amit suggest if a calc has no dropdowns, then list a 1/2 dozen bullet items with questions the calc can answer.
