Project EMAR: Usability Study Findings and a Sneak Peek at V4!
This week the whole group met to discuss and analyze the findings from the usability study and the feedback gathered from teens as a whole. The main pain points of the website were established, so the Web Team could focus on where to make iterations. Our findings showed difficulty with navigation, so the team began searching for a new site template to allow for more user-friendly navigation.
