User Experience Activities & Research

"Card Sorting", is a technique that is use as an input to the structure of a website or a product. For this class, our group wrote down the titles of the navigation tabs that we thought made sense and were appropriate for the user and also for our client (4Paws K9 Detection). Then, our "stack" of cards was given to a different group who re-arrange them as they thought the content should look like.
Our initial site structure was not significantly change by the other groups, however we got useful feedback, which will aid us  in creating our client's website prototype.

Image #1 shows the order that we picked. Then, image #2 shows the order that our classmates thought as adequate. Lastly, #3  belongs to a card sorting activity involving an outsider (Catalina's roommate).

We received feedback in regards to our "Benefits" navigation button.

Angie (card sorting participant), chose to have seven navigation tabs.

She was somewhat confused with our "Marley info" & "Bed Bug Fear" titles. 

We will be discussing how to display this information in a more user-friendly

way.
