Hello, my name is Ikenna...

Hoping to contribute to this

garciajnatalie commented 6 years ago

@stephencharles02 Thank you, we're happy to have your help! In addition to the two tasks above, could you let me know what you like most about Parkology and what you would improve?

  1. Are the icons clear?
  2. Is it easy/ intuitive to get to your profile?
  3. Is it easy/intuitive to understand the different components of parkology?
  4. What improvements would you make to make it more intuitive?
jeffreykeefer commented 6 years ago

Thanks @stephencharles02 ! Interested in your thoughts or suggestions!!

First impressions looking at the icons:

I like:

I wish:

I am going to take a look at the landing page now as a whole to provide more holistic feedback.

iamjessklein commented 6 years ago

After looking at the homepage, there seems to be a lot of room for tightening up the messaging and links. I took a screenshot and flagged the areas that I think could be improved. The main thing on the homepage is that i get a little lost, what is the main thing that you want the site visitor to do? Join or sign up? If you'd like I can take a stab at mocking up some fixes.

garciajnatalie commented 6 years ago

This is very helpful. Please mock up some fixes!

We'd like for people to use the pathways pages - that's really where we have curated content on top park related questions, and then join if they need additional information on how they can best steward and create local parks.

A mock would take a bit of time to produce, but maybe I could have one for you by tomorrow. I'm going to create a quick wireframe that includes some of iamjessklein 's suggestions and post it to give you a feel of what the revised site flow could potentially look like.

iamjessklein commented 6 years ago

@youriwims that's great - I'm happy to give feedback.

youriwims commented 6 years ago

Awesome. I also suggest that a sitemap be created to view where and what all pages link to. There are a variety of similar if not, the exact same links on the home page; so, this revision would actually probably need to be completed before a wireframe and mock.

From a user experience perspective, the flow of the information is not clear and is likely to cause confusion leading the visitor to leave the page :(

garciajnatalie commented 6 years ago

I have a site map from a while back that I can share, let me dig it up and share it with you.

+1 that was going to be my first recommendation - it feels like the "home page" could actually be the pathways page. this way you cut through to directly get the information.

macruzbar-zz commented 6 years ago

Agree with @iamjessklein comments on the design of the front page.

In terms of the icons, I would change one or two, in the following way:

Hope that helps!

jeffreykeefer commented 6 years ago

Thanks @macruzbar!

iyketheintrovert commented 6 years ago

Okay, I got overwhelmed looking at the landing page. I believe less is more and i didn't get to experience that.

I'd go with adding a little border radius to enhance the look and feel of the site.

Do away with duplicate links...

iyketheintrovert commented 6 years ago

The sign-in form should be visible on the landing page. Same as the sign-up page. eliminating the need for multiple pages for those functions.

jeffreykeefer commented 6 years ago

Thanks for the feedback @iyketheintrovert; will share that with our team!

iamjessklein commented 6 years ago

@garciajnatalie did you find your sitemap?

iamjessklein commented 6 years ago

I'm going to work now on the sitemap for a little bit.
