Good Points:
- Learnability: This is a pretty straight forward design in that all the user does is fill out a form with her name, message, and whether or not she would like to attach images/other media. It is a very directed step by step process in getting a card out there.
- Visibility: All buttons and text are laid out in a way that will allow the user to see the buttons in signing up and confirming messagesJeanette can create a card and have the link to send out within 4 clicks from the homepage.
- Portability: She can send the URL to her friends via email, fb, twitter, IM, or even in person.
- Visibility: All actions in edit page are instantaneous, you get what you see so users can readjust easily as they are typing to correct mistakes or edit the layout.
- Simplicity: Since the whole card is text-based, Jeanette will have guarantee that the final product will look pretty and standardized. Also, collaborators in the card can get their message across and save within 2 clicks and know the product of their text will look nicely formatted and styled to their taste. This makes card signing easier than ever.
Bad Points:
- Lack of media options: Collaborators won't get to attach videos, doodle, or scrap together pictures into the ecard. This may inhibit creativity and cramp people's styles.
- Efficiency: This design is not efficient in that it forces the user to have to go through a step by step process in creating a card, and that skipping around is not allowed.
