Well I just played around with it, but here's my feedback as someone outside of chicago:
1) You need a simple front page, "Live outside Chicago? Signup here to be notified when we add more regions!"
2) The functionality and mapping looks real good, but is really something users are looking for when looking up representatives? It seems to sort of clog and confuse the UI being there on the right. I'd probably move them below the fold or at the bottom of the page and instead put anchor links or further info links on the right.
3) RSS - awesome. Email alerts - awesome. Perhaps add the email alert form on the page itself instead of require an additional page view.
4) Need a more clear link to the front page, the logo at the top I'm more apt to click on is the one for Windy Citizen rather than RepSheet.
Overall a nice clean app that I'll use once you expand to cover my geo area.
- brandnewlow 18y ago1) For notification of expansion...could we use a facebook group? We've got a twitter account at http://twitter.com/repsheet http://twitter.com/repsheet Will respond to rest of your (awesome) points in a second. The Chicago Sun-Times is tweeting...!
- mandric 18y agoThanks for this input. Added the "Live outside Chicago?" link to the footer. But don't have time right now to setup a form. ;( If we get 50 emails today I'll setup the form. With the sub form, bit of js is a nice idea, also will do. As far as the maps, it's a bit of eye candy, generally people like maps. It's just cool to see and leads the eye down the page. Not sure how informational it is right now, but might be in the future. Not sure about the front page nav link issue. I think it's pretty simple but only way to really know is to get feedback and observe people using it. I'm sure it will undergo some changes soon.
