Homepage Workflows per User Group - Experiment #952

Open aboydnw opened 1 month ago

aboydnw commented 1 month ago

Context

There has been discussion in this ticket for GHG to explore a homepage redesign that funnels users into workflows based on their user group. The NASA Lifelines page was given as inspiration. They drop a modal in front of their users and direct them to "learn more" pages specific to the user group. It seems to be that users only see this modal once, probably through the use of cookies.

This is a good example because NASA Lifelines does not have noticeably different user experiences in their portal based on the user group. It is not a big enough product to warrant that level of sophistication. GHG Center and VEDA are very much the same (up to this point)

Goals

I would like to run a low cost experiment to better understand 2 things:

  1. How much diversity do we actually have across our user groups?
  2. How many people would even utilize an option to identify in a specific group?

Potential Experiment

One idea would be to drop a modal in front of 50% of our users to ask them to identify in one of these groups. From here, we could drop them all onto the Learn page or maybe the Intro to GHG data story. I don't think we need do develop much custom content for this experiment. Alternatively, instead of a modal, we could place some buttons, icons, or links somewhere near the top of the home page. Not making huge changes to the layout, just enough to see if people click on them.

@faustoperez I am curious what you think of a quick experiment like this. Could go a long ways to understanding how we might go about this request and how much time to dedicate to it

@hanbyul-here @sandrahoang686 @dzole0311 I am curious if we have the technical infrastructure/instrumentation to do something like this

I think we could try that. The experiment would benefit if we had a clear list of user types and potential site content destinations. I am not sure we have enough content variety at this point.

We found out today that the most important user group for GHGC is the decision makers. So this experiment might not be as valuable. When we get to thinking about the home page for GHGC, we should take this into consideration, though.
