[community] Community design crit Aug. 6 - IDRC website redesign info architecture

[Li, Cheryl]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for coming to the crit – some really great comments and feedback to think about!

Here is the wiki page for the IDRC website: https://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/IDRC+Website+Redesign+2019
And here are the notes from the crit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q6jXBCSYazTKxc6lT6gkWZ4E8jTZOXEduFm1iI1BYnI/edit?usp=sharing

Hoping to do another crit when we have some sketches and/or wireframes. Until then, feel free to leave comments on any of these files!

Best,
Cheryl

    Hello everyone!
    
    Looking forward to discussing and critiquing some IDRC website work today __
    I'm sending out some questions and material in case anyone likes to look at these things ahead of time.
    
    I am hoping to split our hour together with two main chunks:
    
    1. Open discussion around questions such as:
    - Who are the people coming to our website?
    - What do they come here to do?
    - What sorts of problems do they encounter when they try to do these things? (May help to think back to any support requests you’ve received)
    - Bonus: Any ideas on how to address these issues?
    
    2. Critiquing a first draft site map
    Link here, if you'd like to look in advance: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1VsW0vB1PF-gQn8fAMmPKRpny3DbhPXLkjBxxycqzDoU/edit?usp=sharing
    While this discussion should stay fairly open, if you're someone who likes to have a few questions to guide your feedback, you can consider these:
    
        - What should stay?
        - What’s missing?
        - What is a potential red flag?
        - What are areas for further exploration?
    
    Best,
    Cheryl
