design/accessibility for non-web-familiar users #9

Closed jywarren closed 9 years ago

jywarren commented 10 years ago

Just want to keep an issue open for checking if folks who don't use the web much, and/or don't know web UX idioms, can read/use the site. We should do some user testing.

Thinking about:

We should also keep in mind design for colorblindness, esp. as we use red/green. It's okay to do it, just not to depend on it.

I made this revision of the header to try to address some of those issues:

Great. Lets start accumulating questions for the user testing feedback form in issue #10 to keep the list for a future feedback form different than the UX work here.

I think we could put spaces in the Where We Breathe in the header for the pre-hashtag generation. Also will privacy be linked differently than the others in the header? +1 on consistent visual grammar for links. should we underline About Privacy Blog Knowledge base?

The Privacy link was supposed to indicate that you're on the Privacy page in this example. I also think we could try to run things like link consistency by a UX expert for input. Perhaps by default we'll just underline all links, but we can revisit as the designs and code start to mature and settle.

Sounds good!

jywarren commented 10 years ago

Let's also add 2 columns of useful links or information at the footer, with plenty of extra space, as on PublicLab.org. light grey on white.

+1

We'll revisit this in Phase II during user testing; re-assigning.

jywarren commented 9 years ago

I think this is good for now, esp with #10 ongoing; I'm closing but please re-open if you feel otherwise!
