Feedback from User Testing and Changes to make

We had user testing a couple of days ago and it was extremely helpful in understanding how I can improve my site. I was concerned that because I didn’t have much functionality yet that user testing would not be advantageous. However, I gained some really valuable feedback and was able to collaborate with my peers to solve some coding issues on the spot!

Some pieces of feedback that I will definitely be incorporating into my work are:

• Making the site responsive (on hover actions)
• Adding a hamburger nav bar
• Have bigger margins – so as to bring the content in more vertically and horizontally (too much white space)
• Use absolute positioning for the main titles
• RE ORGANIZE CLASSES AND DIVS!!
• Align the drop shadow appropriately
• Have the video as centerpiece

The user testing sparked some new ideas as well as how to constructively improve my site. I also got a much stronger understanding of what is realistic and what isn’t given the time we have. Below are the pictures illustrating: The ample but unnecessary white space and poor uses of classes in my code. Both of which I intend to change.
