Paper Prototyping
After testing our paper prototypes on our classmates, we decided to apply the following design changes:
- It would be helpful to have the system include a predefined text in
every mail the user sends, containing information regarding his person and
the transaction,
- the test users reported that browsing through deep
'directory'-structures can be exhaustive, so the path in order to reach a
desired item should get shortened,
- a user gave us an advise to 'merge' deep and narrow category-structures
if they only contain few items,
- the appearance of lists should be more consistent, e.g. the symbols
used for enumeration,
- it would be desirable to have a little textual hint like "restrict to
category" when creating (or editing) a search in order to accent the
meaning of the selection fields on the page,
- the user should have the possibility to restrict a search to more than
one category,
- one "tester" requested the possibility of using pdf-files, for the
description of the products,
- the trashcan should be moved from the 'Communication' page to the main
screen,
- offers should be activated or deactivated arbitrarily,
- within the section "myOffers" an additional information concerning the
number of new messages should be displayed (feedback!),
- in the communication center a button for buying immediately could be
offered,
- at last simplicity of use would be enhanced through empowering the
central control to delete old entries automatically.
