  10. Client Feedback SUMMARY: User feedback confirmed our suspicions that the search process was cumbersome and confusing, did not flow with the rest of our website, had too many steps, and users didn’t want to have to log in. The site's a little cumbersome with lots of steps. Could be smoother. Evaluation of Previous Child Care Search • The search is confusing and unhelpful.
