Questions:

  • "submit inclusion challenges"

    • What happens to the form once it's submitted?

  • Describe the Mapathons

    • Sign up for mapathons [mapper registration form]

  • Participating Business Profiles [filter/sort functions]

  • "BIG IDeA in Action" may be ambiguous. Not clear what it is before navigating to it.

  • Once navigating to it, it's still not clear what it is.

    • perhaps some of these can be pushed to the front page instead of being in this section?

Contact

  • Be involved description

  • David’s email [mailto form]

  • Can About and Contact sections be combined?

  • Does "be involved description" need to be here? Presumably it should appear in other sections already (i.e. Customer and "BIG IDeA in Action").

Areas to Highlight from Upper Navigation (e.g. tiles)

  • Businesses

  • Customers

  • BIG IDeA in Action

Functionality (in order of priority) for Launch (By March 31)

  • mailto form

  • fluid UI options

  • external links

  • social media links

  • download resources

  • challenge form

  • challenge registration form

  • mapper registration form

  • business info form

  • feedback form

  • log in

  • account form

  • profile with editing/updating

  • feedback form analytics/report

  • business profiles that can be sorted/filtered

Where does this fit into the priorities:

  • badging



Thoughts:

  • To make a good interactive site that's also accessible will take time

    • Is it possible to partner with another service and create an event or special program for BIG IDeA? i.e. is it possible to work with Yelp or use Google to create something that facilitates this kind of interaction?

  • Is there a way we can use what is out there already to create the relationships we desire? i.e. Engage on platforms where they are already, rather than creating a new platform.

    • i.e. create a Twitter / Instagram campaign engaging customers to document and engage with businesses. Businesses can respond in those forums.

    • Maybe there's already something on Yelp or similar which facilitates groups? Can we use that?

  • Concerns:

    • time for design and development

    • on-going maintenance and support

    • security and privacy
