## Pen testing and security for enterprises

 This project was a good reminder that you don’t have to be a SME (Subject Matter
Expert) on something in order to make a website for it. However, you do have to 
know where your expertise ends and your client’s begins. In the event of NetSPI (
a Pen Testing and Security solutions provider), we focused on clear site architecture
and clean styling, while deferring to them on matters that were a bit over our collective
heads.

## What’s in a nav?

If we had to pick one element on a website that most impacts the user experience,
the answer would be obvious. Primary navigation. For NetSPI, we went through several
rounds of discussion on how to group pages, followed by creating a visual site map
to show which pages are elevated, before finally designing a two-level mega-nav 
UI. But don’t let that scare you. The process may sound intensive, but the result
is intuitive and direct.

The nav helps people get from page to page of a website, but that doesn’t do much
good if the desired actions never get completed. Like most marketing sites, the 
primary action on the NetSPI site is lead generation. Of course we have a Quote 
page, but on the bottom of EVERY page, we have a short lead gen form pinned to the
footer. Repetition is a valuable tool in our conversion science kit. so we err on
the side of surplus when it comes to CTA buttons and forms. Every page leads to 
the finish line—should you choose to cross it.
