General Questions

1.      Was any part of the steps confusing, hard to understand? Please describe.

 

 

 

Yes, I found confusing the selection of the events to be sent by e-mail, and the emailing process in general.

 

 

2.      Any other thoughts and comments? 

I checked (2) on Q4 because I think it could be interesting to add some text to the list I am sending as well as information about where to park, that is a major problem in SF. What about the possibility of directions for driving?

General Questions

To find the way to sign up was very difficult.

The information provided as categories for preferences seems very good to me.

General Questions

 

1.      Was any part of the steps confusing, hard to understand? Please describe.

 

 

The transfer of the information from “event calendar” to “My Picks” confused me. I was expecting to move “venue” instead.

 

 

 

 

2.      Any other thoughts and comments? 

I like the idea of the calendar. However, I would like to be able to see more than a week at a time… a month? Of course with the possibility of switching back to the “week” calendar.

Post-test questionnaire

 

 

1. Which aspects did you find particularly easy in this site?

 

I didn’t need to read the legend of the icons. They were straightforward.  I right knew what they mean.

 

2. Which aspects did you find particularly difficult in this site?

 

To find the Sign up

 

 

3. Please give additional comments about this site. We would especially appreciate your feedback on the following topics:

 

 

n       Which functions did you like most, which ones you think you would not use

Calendar: the idea of once you pick preferences and the system tells in advance.

The change of colors of the feedback.

n       Would you in reality create your personal page to have nightlife information at this site?

Yes, but I would  like to check some bands in advance. Plan in advance hot events.

[A reminder would help you?]

It would be nice. But if I could check my month calendar, would be great.

n       Anything that you think that is missing in this site

I liked the site and the design. The video and music to give idea of the venue and event is great.

Also to map the venue direction. Are you going to sell this project? I think you should.
