Results of user tests round 1 Lessons learnt:

• text needed to explain the Open Square on the home page

• Why sign in?• Misleading phrases such as “Join the society”• Links did not go to pages the user expected• All the users had difficulties in focusing on our design

concepts and not the technical aspects of the prototype
