Our last visit to WILL was beneficial for both us and the WILL Connect team. After sitting in on a staff meeting last Friday, we had the opportunity to critique the WILL Connect site thus far. The site had launched about a week before, so we got to offer suggestions for how to improve it. Reuben, Sarah and I all went to separate offices with different members of the WILL Connect team so we could give them our unedited thoughts without hearing anyone else’s opinions.
After giving our ideas separately for about a half hour, we all got back together and had a mini “focus group” to discuss our suggestions as a group. It was incredible to hear what other people thought of the site – half the suggestions had never occurred to me! We discussed the main banner image of the site, how to organize its tabs and side panels, how users will discover the site, how to arrange blog posts, etc. We did not spend a lot of time at WILL on Friday, but we certainly made our time count.
This week we’re working on our final report and starting to generate ideas for our final presentation. I can’t believe we have so little time left!
