| Feedback Content | Suggestion: adding some text above or below the video. I think it might be helpful for first-time viewers and newcomers to Buddhism. While the title appears on the YouTube video, I feel like it's easy to overlook. Say someone is on the subway train, can't play the audio (or a circumstance like that) it may be beneficial for "New here? Start here." sort of text. Or even just a short copy that repeats some of the video. Not too long, but that maybe helps guide someone again to the discover button.
It's otherwise straightforward, neat, and feels good as the landing page. I really do like how it's set up. But I was "searching" for where to go, what's here, what's what. It wasn't completely intuitive... I think there's an audience that will feel like I feel and get it. I'm writing this more so for the newcomer. It's there, but maybe just a slight bit more leading. That way new people can be funneled through a curated experience, and those of us who get into that searching state, will also be looking straight for that and going to the other doorways. They're already interested and looking for a text. New people have that fresh interest that maybe could use that first couple lines of text under the video. "Welcome to the website, here is a video introduction to the project and website. If you're new here, click the discover button to..." This could also be incorporated as a chat pop-up, maybe? like some websites, where you go, and it pops in the bottom right. that "new here, start here" sort of thing. I suppose the only problem with that would be trying to keep it just on the landing page, and a way to be disabled for people coming back. Though it's a minor inconvenience to close. Just some thoughts on that. But again, the landing page looks great. The intro animation is captivating! The video is well done; audio is great and easy to follow. It just happened that when I started to explore the page I didn't pick up on "discover" right away. I didn't get drawn into that text under. I know one would hope people were taking their time and reading things through but we know this age people don't always. |
