Community Feedback
Person 1:
-
The search categories page could be prettier. All the categories are just in one line. Could maybe have them spaced out a bit more in different coulumns.
-
Just an opinion but the Places to Eat page should default to showing all the vendors, or at least some of them rather than just being blank until a location is selected.
-
Maybe combine the search and Places to Eat page.
-
Like the rainbow colored font.
-
Looks pretty good overall and is honestly very usable. Could maybe change some of the fonts to make it look a little prettier instead of being one font.
Person 2:
-
When using the search bar the categorical was to busy and should’ve been neater I think adding a drop down option would’ve been a better choice
-
The Fonts is kinda confusing. There were so many different fonts, which was something off about the website.
-
The rainbow colored font confused me but added some little different which is good.
-
The main menu was to small. The top back and the back part was smashing the middle menu.
-
The recommendation above the menu was a good touch. Having this makes to easier as a customer finding food that i want.
Person 3:
-
It looks good, almost professional looking.
-
Easy to click on things and to use.
-
Accommodating.
-
Nice Design!
-
Easy to access.
Person 4:
-
The website is good cause we have places to eat split into locations and the search bar is there too in case they a looking for a specific place.
-
The search filters are good, but would recommend a map for those who don’t know the locations around Manoa. “It’s good ‘cause it’s simple.”
-
To sum up, “It is good overall, it is easy to navigate. For the places to eat page with all the categories, it might be better to combine the places to eat with the search. When clicking on each location in the Places to eat tab, have a search function inside each location, rather than separate the two. This is to make the search work within those specific locations. I think this may be better to have this as it can help with specifics of location.”
Person 5:
-
I really like the top and bottom borders, but I think the bottom once is a bit too pronounced. I feel like the footer of the page should be smaller and not as noticable unless you’re looking for it.
-
I like the main font that you have in the center of the screen, but I think the “UHM… What To Eat?” shoul be a different more stylized font. I sort of think it should match the font used in the logo but that’s just my opinion.
-
I think the placing of the title and login should be a bit more to the edge of the screen. I don’t know why but it feels like those things are a little too close to the center, it almost makes the screen feel like it’s choking.
-
I like the clipart of the different foods in the background, but maybe it would be better to have some clip art of foods that could be considered more local. Like instead of pizza and sandwiches we can get musubi or little takoyaki balls, or even poke. Something like that.
