Feedback sought:
1) Look around the home page – what is your initial impression of what you see?
2) Think of something you want to find on this website. Now try to find it. Did you find what you were looking for? Was anything confusing?
3) There’s a link to our web app on the page front. Did you find it easily?
4) Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
1) Look around the home page – what is your initial impression of what you see?
My first impression is that I think this is a great app to have. I believe that this app would come in very handy for me when I am planning trips and I could use all the extra help I could get.
2) Think of something you want to find on this website. Now try to find it. Did you find what you were looking for? Was anything confusing?
I was wanting to find a few samples/examples or maybe a short video of how the app works. I was not able to find anything like that. I would not say that anything was confusing, but I would like to see more information with more pictures on the page front.
3) There’s a link to our web app on the page front. Did you find it easily?
Yes I saw that link on the page front, it was easily noticeable as well.
4) Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
I think this is a great app to use but I would like to see more pictures/colors on the home page. There is a lot of white in the background. I would have liked to see some examples or videos as well to get a better idea of how the app works and what it shows. I see the picture on the page front that shows a computer with a map and some symbols, but I would like to see what the symbols stand for and more. I like your “about us” section but I would add some pictures or color to that page because it is so plain and un colorful. I also like your “weekend picks” section.
1. First impression of this site its very bland, but easy to use. Not a lot of information on the home page letting me know what this site is really about.
2. No search box for me to search what I wanted, limited weekend picks. Not a lot of things to do if you really want an adventure want to use this site for a little help on adventures or things to do.
3. I found the web application very easily on the site
4. Overall, the site is not worth my time as Denver is a large city there’s got to be more things to do and see in Denver.
1) Look around the home page – what is your initial impression of what you see?
I think the selection of the picture is okay. However, a 30-second video showing the variety of possibilities would get me more emotionally engaged.
When it says “for all things to .do, is it really everything? Does it include business events? Spiritual, i.e., church? For little kids? Does it include everything that is happening in a location or only the things that are posted be someone involved with the event?
2) Think of something you want to find on this website. Now try to find it. Did you find what you were looking for? Was anything confusing?
I would like to see what events there are in the Salt Lake City area. I went through the navigation bar and saw only a couple of events in Colorado, where I did see a sunrise Easter service answering one of my questions in #1. There is no search for location or type of event.
How do I find a specific event?
3) There’s a link to our web app on the page front. Did you find it easily?
Yes, I saw the link to the web app. It probably should be above the scroll/fold, along with the Apple and Android apps. And what does the web app do? Does it enable me to search for events? If so, why is a web app needed rather than just signing up for an online account, i.e., Facebook?
4) Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
I understand the value of sites that provide event information. It is great to have one that is national, so people who are traveling will know what’s happening wherever they are.
But I have no idea how to use the site to find the information I want.
There are already sites like Meetup.com and EventBrite.com and, even, Craigslist.org that provide information about events. We also have local sites such as NetworkinginUtah.com that is for mostly business events, the papers have events, etc. Most of them depend on someone involved with the event to make the post. Therefore, the lists are incomplete.
How is yours better? What need do you fulfill that is not already being met by these other sites?
