Clients question:
Commauction is a online bet system for buying meat. They build a site to bet on the meat, but most visitors don’t understand the bet system.

Their question was:
– Create a clear target group communication (for who)
– Visualize how the system works
– Overall more usability
This was the interface before I the web usability check.

Outcome:
I checked the site with the Usability Evaluation Framework with the following criteria:
- Useful
- Desirable
- Usable
- Accessible
- Credible
- Findable
- Valuable. I came up with a list of 25 main solutions for a better and more user friendly site, including 2 interface sketches. Click on the image for close-up.
Improvements are:
– Each target group has it’s own ‘what’s in it for thems’
– Menu bar visible
– Visuals (logo, pictures) are better visable
– Colors of buttons are connected with the action of it
– Graphic steps how to subscibe
