Wireframing Tool

  • Set up a trial for Balsamiq for Confluence Cloud

    • adding this to our Confluence instance would be $1800/year

    • it would be available to all Confluence users

    • trial ends on March 5, 2019

  • Cynthia will also look into Balsamiq Cloud that is not through Confluence

    • Perhaps we can just pay for the handful of users that need it

Top Priorities - Navigation, Homepage, Search

  • Navigation

    • navigation will be part of the universal header across the site

    • ideally we would have two versions of the navigation to test

    • get user input from what the categories should be or whether or not users prefer a drop-down or not

    • categorization - where do stakeholders think their content should be? - something to test

    • drop-down - how do they work on mobile and tablet?

  • Homepage

    • create the homepage around the top things found in the user survey

    • want to work with Chad and Emily for solr indexing of the website content

    • then test some of how people navigate either through browse or search

Next checkin meeting: Thursday, February 14, 2-2:30pm
