In reading Krug chapter 3, dealing with the conventions associated with visual hierarchy, it is easy to see how these visual prompts can lead the viewer, both in print form and websites. The two papers that are featured (see pic) are good examples of this as they are two leading journals in the States.
Reading on in chapter 3, I was intrigued at the mention of Senator Hatch's site V's the website of the Pres. as far as usability goes...so obviously I had to take a look. Hatch's page can be found at http://www.orrinhatch.com
and the Pres's page can be found at http://www.whitehouse.gov/
It was very interesting to see both sites and make the comparison. I think that Hatch was correct about the official Whitehouse site having a distinct lack of visual hierarchy.
