What happens when the user meets an info need The org gets what it wants And Users get what they want
The site funnel • User lands • Where, why, how? • User flows • Follows the suggested next action • User succeeds • Get’s what she wants • Converts (does what the org wants)
Site funnels (org perspective) 1- landing Conversion!! 2- flow 3- success! Know Know Know Know Know Know Do Know Know Know Know Know Know Do Do Know Know Know Know Know Know Do Do
Dealer Funnel Landing car Success!! Conversion Flow car car Car at dealer car Car at dealer car Car at dealer Drive one Buy one car Google, FB posts, Ads on other sites Car at dealer car Car at dealer Drive one car Car at dealer Car at dealer car car car
Deliverable: Site Funnel • World (where does the user come from) • Landing • Flow (what are the stages the user goes through) • Conversion/Success (what the org wants the user to do) • Create a diagram • Create your own style if you can • Use mine if you need to
The User Journey in general • I need some info • I figure out where to look • I follow the trail (flow) • I abandon a site when it does not seem right • I go further when I am getting closer • I changmy mind about what I want as I learn • I find it (success) • I know it now • I experience it • I can do it
Michelle’s Journey I’m unsure of what car I want What I see helps me I am on the trail of the car I want I found some good cars I found one I want You made me even more confused I lost the scent I can’t decide I don’t trust the dealer
Deliverable: User Journey • Stages (at least 3) • Drop-offs for each stage • Why the user moves forward • Last stage is success • Create a diagram • Create your own style if you can • Use mine if you need to
World • Google Page Rank • Partial View Ad • Facebook Post The Car For You Site What I see helps me Likes Viewed Saved Search Associations by car attributes Landing Page (Car full view) My type of cars is for sale around here Faceted Search Result Sequence Associations by car attributes Car-Dealer Page I found good car models I want this car I trust this dealer I want this car I trust this dealer I found some good cars and dealers My Cars Page Price sort Location sort Other cars at dealer Drive one
Deliverable: Site flow • Name your pages • Organize them in the way you want users to pass through them • Superimpose the funnel • Superimpose your user journey • Create a diagram • Create your own style if you can • Use mine if you need to
Sample Wireframes linked to the course web site I will record a separate drill-down through the sample
Deliverable: Wireframes • Use any tool you want • Must save in a format readable by us (pdf, html) • Must be low to med fidelity • Can use pencil but will have to scan • At least three page wireframes • Probably your two info types and one more • Must show areas and general layout • Separate mockups for each area of each page • Separate for each tab (if any) • Two pages can (should) use the same area • Mockup • Actual content as needed for clarity • Field names and descriptions otherwise • Popups and reveals where used • Lists and dropdowns with realistic terms and phrases
Controlled Vocabularies and Hierarchies • They will be due in the next cycle (in the coding spec) • But will be very good to figure out now • To include content in the mockups • To see the scope of what you are doing • In the controlled vocabs • Include the list of terms • Indentation if it is a hierarchy • At least two sources (web sites) you consulted to construct the CV
What did I learn/Change • The central entity is the car-dealer not the car • Media is connected to the car-dealer • Cars are new or used • Dealers • Have images • What types hierarchy = now out of scope • Features • Type=standard are a short list of very high level features • Type = extra • Hierarchical • Have weights
Deliverable: Changes and learning • No special format • Keep track of what changed • Should modify the db schema as you change so it always reflects the most recent ideas • Can change other deliverables before the final submission
