User Task 1

There is lack of proper guidance for first time users. Simple tasks like adding new content and previewing the content on site requires steps that only novice users would understand; when it involves adding content from the “Site Browser” instead of the labelled “Manage Content” tab, where users instinctively clicked on.

Previewing content is also a hassle too; a pop-up is open instead of using the original tab/window, causing confusion when users have to swap between windows and refreshing the page to see the changes updated.

1. Enter “Manage” Tab

2. Spent some time finding the button to add new content

3. Click “Add a New Content” on top right

4. Finish entering details

5. Hit “Publish”. User mentioned the lack of feedback from the system

6. Tried to preview the post but failed

7. Went back to edit mode for the content but couldn’t find a way to preview

8. Explore “Site Browser” tab

9. Clicked on “about-us” folder, then index.html, no response from system

10. Went to sub-section labelled “HTML Pages”

11. Clicked on “About Us”, then “preview”

12. Pop-up of preview page. User mentioned there are no content.

13. Try adding new content again, choosing “New Content” sub option

14. Retyped new content and publish

15. For interest, we ask user to try finding the older content

16. User hit add content and tried “reuse content” options

17. Enter search page but forgot the title of the content

18. Randomly tried some words, failed a few times before succeeding
