Portal Design as an Outcome of the Research

Abstract

This chapter introduces the process of the creation of the literacy portal. The crucial interest of the team from the start was to create a user-friendly open environment for adults with dyslexia and/or reading problems. The readers go with the authors through the gradual development: interviews, grounded in the principle of active listening, and partially structured interviews. This, at the end, was followed by surveys focused on problems with reading and the internet. The authors show what the card sorting method is, how it went, what its goal was, and how it influenced the final portal. The orientation in the web pages is an important part of the portal. The authors, therefore, describe the process of menu and icon selection along with monitoring online movement by people with dyslexia while also using the button and vertical menu. The results and findings were reflected in the requirements of the administrative environment adapted to the individuals with dyslexia, and the reaction CMS system was developed based on them.
