Mentor Project

User testing We did some user testing, still doing more.  Results: People need to know what score is upfront, also that were talking explicitly about business mentoring. Our app/bio concept was confused a lot with profiles... users leaned toward creating a profile. Possible qualifier points could be interactive quizzes or filters to match interests and expertises. Initiation, like things popping up, was recommended. Site Features/Characteristics  I looked at highly rated websites in 2018 for user satisfaction and user friendliness. I will post a picture of my scrap work as well as screen shots of features I particularly liked working with. I looked at random websites as well as mentor-specific websites. General Site Features: -I like Mikiya.Robayashi's menu because it doesn't take up space on the web page, and you have to click on it to make it show.  -Micro Mentor had a community Q&A section.

The results will be interesting I assume, I'll run them for a week. Post picture of the polls Results..so far They've been running for 4 days. My personal account is getting responses, the ELC... not so much. The results are completely opposite of what I expected. In fact, more people are interested in mentoring .
