Disclaimer: I just finished reading "Don't Make Me Think" so I'm probably just being arrogant when I list all of these possible changes. I know it's hard to hear so much criticism so let me add this: I like it
Here are three things I would do right away:
1. Usability testing
2. Usability testing
3. Usability testing
The site is pretty good for usability but there were a few things that I didn't get right away. My list of possible changes:
1. Feedback link: I thought this would take me to a page of testimonials or maybe to a UserVoice page. I think "Contact Us" would be more appropriate.
2. About link: I thought this would be a page about the developers and who they are and where they're from. I'd probably change this link to "How It Works"
3. Too much text: as the maxim goes "Get rid of half the words on each page, then get rid of half of what's left"
4. Add request page: If you have no contacts it just displays nothing. You should probably put a little field in there that allows you to add contacts directly from that page.
5. Contacts: Change it to "Babysitters". Contacts is kind of ambiguous.
6. Contacts page: I would show the "Add Contact" field above the list of contacts instead of having a link to it on another page. It's such a small form that it won't matter that much.
7. Editing contact: add a "Cancel" link
8. Editing icon links: I'd move them to right instead of the left just because I'm more used to seeing them there.
9. Home page: I'd change "Welcome to Sit4us" to something that tells people what the site does. Like "Organize your babysitters" or "Contacting babysitters made easy".
10. Tagline: Add a tagline below your logo
11. Make logo clickable. Should send you to the homepage.
Anyway I'll stop now. So far I quite like it despite my list of nitpicks.
What is your monetization strategy, if you have one?
- megamark16 17y agoWow, thank you for the amazingly helpful feedback! I fixed most of the issues you raised, and I really appreciate your invaluable feedback. It can be really difficult for me to cut back on text, I'm such a longwinded person by nature, but I definitely see the need for it. Thanks again!
