Recommendations

These redacted suggestions after a content review were accompanied by a Miro mockup of new information architecture and user flow.



1. Headings

Opportunity: In usable content space on a standard laptop screen, the heading images take up more than 30% of the screen vertically.

Recommendation: The heading images here might be better suited to switch to either text headings, which would be responsive on any screen, or shorter images, which would break up the content visually without having the user scroll more to reach the content they need.

2. Content Available Elsewhere

Opportunity: STP Weekly Digests are easily accessible from the Home tab of Seismic, so having them here again fills out the page with additional repetitive information that could be easily found and accessed faster elsewhere.

Recommendation: This section highlighted in red should be removed to get users in the habit of checking the Home tab for recent updates and information, which is also less clicks to access.

3. New Page Opportunity

Opportunity: There is a lot of information here that could be referenced quicker, especially the longer these recaps occur. Currently, as quarters will continue, each recap will be lost as the new recap replaces this information.

Recommendation: This section should be moved to a standalone Seismic page for each quarterly recap that can be included via widget, which will allow seasoned users to reference multiple quarters over time, as well as make it accessible faster for a better user experience.

4. New Section Opportunity

Opportunity: There is a lot of information here that could be referenced quicker with additional separation and rearrangement in the content.

Recommendation: This section should have the "Key Resources" heading like on other STP pages for easy skimming and reference.

5. Rearrangement of Sections

In the Miro board, I’ve provided rearrangements of each page that allow for the most experienced users and new hires have a good experience. These recommendations are based on the flow of information from usage of the actual page.

This information architecture puts navigational sections in the beginning, where users will typically expect them to be. Since new users are more likely to scroll through the page in its entirety to find the information they need, having navigational items and frequently referenced material as close to the top as possible would help with users’ time.

6. Sidebar Recommendations

For the Resource Library and sidebars with information, I would recommend having those lists in alphabetical order for easy skimming and retrieval.

On pages without sidebar information, I’d recommend including a Table of Contents (like on the [Redacted] Partnership page).
