UX notes

[melteng]

1. To help contextualize: add graph to the homepage

This project tracking feature feels like the main end result users would want to walk away with, but it's not at all clear that this is what "Meetr" is about .. until you go through the whole process of creating an account, creating a project, and taking the reflection survey.

Some representation of this graph should be on the homepage (I recommend second section, pink background) called "This is how it works."

2. Add "Get Started" button to the homepage above the fold.

Right now you have to scroll all the way down to "It's easy to get started" --> "Let's go". I am not personally a fan of this much padding / large text and white space. Aesthetically pleasing, functionally a bit laborious to scroll and look for things.

3. Add the "Why do engaged journalism?" question to the homepage last section

(From the About page) Then link to the About page to read more.

4. "Talk it out"

A) "Talk it out" is unclear as a section title because what's "it" and with whom? "Track your progress" is pretty clear and a common feature. I recommend something like "Engagement Check-In" or "Engagement Questionnaire."

B) The "Talk it out" questions are awesome, but how is a user supposed to use this website?

Are users supposed to have this webpage open as they run their focus group to ask their group these questions? If so, there should be a way for them to record their answers --- or have at the top a print-out template for them to print and record their stuff by hand.

Even more ideal would be a clear way for users to see how their answers from the "Talk it out" section can convert to their survey answers in the "Track your progress" section.

5. User / projects main page

a) remove "Hi," -- it takes up more valuable screen real estate than it gives; it feels like it should be filled with my name and looks like a bug when it's not.
b) would be great to edit my project name and description or add in title or description later.
c) under each project's name, you could add "Date of last progress update" + a button to add new project update + a button to set up recurring update
