Who is Eligible? page- we might be able to get "#2. Enroll " appear above the break on 1024x768 monitors if we list the different non-qualifying employee categories in two columns vs. one.

"See the Sites:" sections. There is no background contrast appearing on my monitor at all. There are, however, some faint, light blue rectangle outlines surrounding the title "See the Sites" and also around the "See the Sites" text body.

Determined that this is a monitor contrast issue; if the contrast is set extremely high, the "See the sites" background disappears

2nd and 3rd levels: The active top category is easier to see now, but I wonder if the colors should be reversed -- on the Your MIT page, for example, Your MIT is white and visible and the other two buttons almost appear grayed out. To me, the button that should look the "grayest" is the page you're on, and the ones that should look the most appealing/clickable are the pages you're not on. But I could be in left field on that -- I'd want to see what others thought.

Contact HR: I still worry that this is more prominent than we want it to be.

Print This Page placement seems random to me. It may be too late for this now but I think we should have had a footer with: "contact hr | print this page | copyright massachusetts institute of technology 2008" or something along those lines, so placement of those items would be both consistent and yet not prominent. No need to rethink it now, just a thought for future consideration.

My main question is about the lower level pages and how users will navigate back to the homepage. I couldn't figure out how one would get back to the homepage (if they wanted to for some reason and didn't want to use the back button).

On the third level page under "Your Checklists - Before You Start"  The text in the first paragraph should read, "Here are five things you can do..." because there are five items in the list.

On the third level page under "Your Benefits - Who Is Eligible?"  Is there another way to indicate #1 and #2?  Perhaps "Step 1 and Step 2" or "First.... and Then..."


Content issue- this is text and can be addressed during development
