Design 2
- Learnability
- Standard form layout for each step of signup
- Wizard pattern to guide between one profile editing page to another
- Visibility
- Visible confirmation via message bar upon creation of profile
- Efficiency
- Less efficient because process is split into multiple steps
- Sample photos are added one at a time.
- Price structure is entered as text so photographers can enter their customized price message.
- Error Prevention/Correction
- Different Distinct buttons: "sign -up page for photographers and usersup as photographer" and "sign up as user" to prevent users accidentally signing up as photographers
Design 3
- Learnability
- Assumes greater computer skills because of fewer affordances (e.g. clicking on your name turns it into a textbox where you can change your name. Compare with having a textbox on the page at all times).
- Visibility
- Profile editing page looks very similar to the profile page that user's see. This way, photographer knows exactly how the change will be reflected.
- Profile items become editable widgets (textboxes and textareas) when clicked. This presents a visibility problem.
- Efficiency
- Single page presentation
- Instant updating (no 'save page'/'submit' button instead you have 'save' button per field/section)
- Error Prevention/Correction
- Requires details for sign-up (business address, phone) so that users will not accidentally sign up as photographers
- Accidental deletions can be reverted by
