Greetings!
I want to turn your attention on certain aspects of the EVE website which can be improved.
There are two problems which enshackles user’s navigation:
-
Too much empty space => reduced meaningful space
-
When hovering mouse over the menus in the HEADER the tooltips are automatically appearing.
Expected behaviour: they appear only if user is LMB-ing the interactable element
Please, observe attached screenshot with the current website design carefully.
I will now breakdown this topic in more details:
-
HEADER
Empty space up and down from menus could be safely decreased. Now it occupies roughly 2/3 of the actual header’s height.
Good thing, I must to admit: header is shrinking as user is scrolling down :celebration:. However, initial proportions “empty/useful space” nullifies its cognitive advantage
-
RIGHT PANE (==table of contents)
Idea is good, it allows the user to navigate more “expeditiously”, but current width is too hungry - just look at the picture - all this empty space to the far right.. I feel, it could be safely tightened to a roughly 40% of its current width value. -
MAIN INFO BLOCK
It should be much better if all spacing issues with the HEADER and the RIGHT PANE will be addressed, so, there is almost nothing which may to be improved.. except one little thing:
font intervals, or spacing between lines in the text itself.
You see, the intervals between the lines in the same paragraph are almost the same as the interval between paragraphs/newlines!
This dissallows to differentiate text blocks, while our mind is percepting information more like “innablocks!”. Like, we aren’t reading letter-to-letter the text but instead, we “devour” it based on its word-forms.
So,
making those forms more recognizable - helps to devour text more efficiently (with less cognitive effort).
P.S.: I know this is a trend in current web design, but as it clearly visible, it has its flaws. I hope you guys will reconsider the approach. 
Love! Peace!
