User Feedback & Ratings
3. Current State Evaluation
Mobile Responsiveness:
The classified section’s responsiveness was tested to check how well it adapts to different screen sizes and orientations (portrait and landscape).
Found Issues: Certain buttons and links are not adequately spaced for touch interactions, resulting in accidental taps or missed actions.
Navigation & Layout:
The layout of the classified section was evaluated for ease of navigation. Issues identified include small fonts, unclear menu labels, and inefficient filtering options that are hard to use on touchscreens.
Slow page loading times were observed, particularly on devices with slower internet connections.
Touchscreen Optimization:
The interface’s touch-friendliness was assessed. Many features are not optimized for touch, requiring precise taps that are difficult on small or older screens.
Found Issues:
Buttons (e.g., “Submit Ad” or “Apply Filter”) are too small.
Interactive maps and image galleries do not resize correctly on mobile screens.
Accessibility:
Screen readers and other accessibility tools were tested to ensure that visually impaired users can navigate the classified section without issues.
Found Issues: Poor text contrast, missing alternative text for images, and non-descriptive links hinder accessibility.
4. Findings & Issues Identified
Touch Target Sizes: Many interactive elements (buttons, links) are too small to tap easily, leading to frustration, particularly for users with larger fingers or older devices.
Menu Layout: The mobile navigation menu is confusing and requires too many taps to access essential features, making it inefficient for users to browse and submit classified ads.
Font Size and Readability: Text on the classified ads page is too small and difficult to read on mobile screens, especially when scrolling through long listings or descriptions.
Form Submission Issues: The ad submission forms are not optimized for mobile. Users often struggle to select dropdown options, fill out fields, or navigate between sections due to non-touch-friendly elements.
Image Gallery Display: Image galleries are hard to interact with on mobile devices. Swiping through images is not smooth, and pinch-to-zoom functionality is inconsistent.
Page Load Speed: Mobile versions of the classified section take longer to load, particularly when multiple images are being loaded, which results in a poor experience for users with slower connections.
5. Recommendations for Improvement
Touch-Friendly Interface:
Increase button sizes for better accessibility on mobile devices.
Ensure tap targets are at least 48px by 48px for ease of use on touchscreen devices.
Responsive Design:
Refactor the layout to be more responsive, ensuring elements adjust well on different screen sizes.
Improve font size and contrast to make text more readable.
Navigation Improvements:
Streamline the mobile navigation menu to make it easier to find essential features with fewer taps.
Implement sticky navigation bars or easy-access side menus to improve navigation.
Form Optimization:
Modify form fields and input elements to be mobile-friendly, such as dropdown menus with larger touch targets and better spacing between form elements.
Implement a step-by-step guide for ad submissions to improve the flow of the process.
Image Gallery Enhancements:
Ensure that the image gallery supports touch gestures like swiping and pinch-to-zoom.
Optimize image sizes for faster loading times on mobile devices.
Page Speed Optimization:
Compress images without losing quality to speed up page load times.
Implement lazy loading techniques for images so that only the visible portion of the page loads first.
6. Testing of Recommended Changes
User Feedback: After implementing changes, testing will be conducted with a group of target users (using mobile and touchscreen devices) to gather feedback on the improvements made.
Success Metrics:
Improved tap accuracy and reduced user error rates.
Faster task completion time, especially for ad submission and filtering processes.
Increased user satisfaction and higher ratings for mobile usability.
