Here is some feedback:
Blue links on a dark blue background is not ok, hardly readable for most
people, and it can even be an accessibility problem for people with
various vision problem.
+1 to this. Even a large plain text link that appears normal is better than
a button styled this way.
Other feedback:
- The placement of the guiders seems to jump around a lot needlessly.
They are often pointing at elements unrelated to the tour contents, for
example, at the first "Let's get started" step, it seems to point at the
Wikipedia logo for some reason. Pointing at a particular element should
ideally only be used when you want the user to interact with that element
in some way. If you don't need to point at a particular element on the
page, then I believe it's fairly trivial to have the guider be
center-aligned and without an arrow.
- The button is often the title of the next guider. For example, on the
step introducing Wikipedia's mission statement, the button is "It is
happening". You should never expect users to actually read all of the
guider content line by line before responding the button, and instead
expect them to scan.[1]
- The button should almost always be an action verb, e.g. next, learn
more, let's go, get started, etc., though the question form probably works
too (e.g. "Who writes Wikipedia?)
- If I click the "Explore more motivations" button, the page just
reloads and the same guider seems to appear over and over, leaving me
feeling stuck.
- I didn't really understand what I was being asked to choose from or
why at Wikipedia:TWA/1/Bio
- Wikipedia:TWA/1/Reasons -- you and Maryana and I should talk about the
content in this step I think. The list of motivations we developed through
interviews still holds I think, but just presenting the motivations without
context or examples may not make sense to a lot of people, because many of
these are intrinsic motivators. We also named a lot of these in ways that
may not sound like benefits or be really appealing to people. Terms like
autonomy, perfectionism, curiosity are really more attributes of
Wikipedians, not ways to describe why contribute is rewarding. I'd probably
keep this list in mind, but rewrite it to focus on describing benefits of
contributing in plainer terminology.
