7 years ago @kathreenriel a rough home mock to get us started. (I will upload a mock of the different nav states as well) (Also, please ignore the logo on the mock)
I put the actionable items like registering in the top nav, where you will see "post an event" as well.
My main concern was communicating the main point of the project:
- I think it would benefit greatly to add a value proposition at the top that states what problem this project is solving for users (the main purpose of the project, something like the elevator pitch)
Adding titles to the map (or steps like "Get started, search for events") will help clarify the user flow of the website.
- Putting the map or the search first. This depends on what the main focus is. I definitely think the map isn't enough on its own, and that it needs a description of the events you can find on the map, or events in a chronological order. Then you can use the map to see exactly where those events are being held (like the functionality of google maps). (On a side note, its really important to remove the scrolling from the map, so that the user is able to scroll down the site. The user should still be able to use the plus and minus buttons to zoom in and out of the map.
- I removed some of the fields from the search form to make it more clear.
Footer: I moved "Terms and Conditions" and "Privacy" to the footer and added "Contact" there as well. This is a common pattern. Other links such as social media links or other contact information can be added here to.
