Key Changes to design based on Chalkmark test
- Search button was mostly used at the top of the article page, but this could be an inaccurate assessment on whether users would prefer this button to the one at the bottom of the article page due to there being no content on the page. Users could potentially want to save at the bottom as they are already focusing down the page during writing content.
- All users unsuccessfully reached the home page of the site therefore a more obvious way of displaying a link to view the main site will be required.
- Placing a new article widget on the dashboard instead of relying on the menu seemed a successful choice as users quickly responded to this task on average in 5.5 seconds.
