The amount of content in the left nav is extensive (good) and I think we could improve the ability of users to find what they want for the nav bar in a few ways:

  • differentiate category headers (e.g. User interface) more; perhaps with some indent/unindent or larger, bolder type
  • add icons to categories (e.g. Design and theming). Given the level of specificity for some categories, may require a specialized or custom icon set
image

Also

  • the Reference category is expanded by default, not sure why. I think this could easily be nested under Resources image
  • the Resources category subheaders (e.g. Learning) aren't differentiated enough from items image
