Week 2 Friday - Wireframes and User Testing

Today we drew up the first thumbnails for our prospective websites, based on the user journeys we made last class. We modified the journeys as we saw fit, then made them bigger and did a round of user testing on them.

The main feedback I got from mine was that it was still very similar to the Stuff layout, and also that the date/calendar aspect needed a lot of focus to make sure it's clear to the user where/when they are. While people found the calendar in the sketches, it was likely more because that part of the page was more well rendered and obviously a focus. In a fully realized design, they wouldn't stand out as much.
