Page History

HOME PAGE

Pros
* Informative page that let's first time users know what the site is about.

Cons
* Not very functional except for serving as a hub from which to navigate to other site pages.
* The Bootstrap layout is a bit overdone, but pretty.  

GIVE PAGE

Pros
* The listings are very detailed. This makes searching and filtering based very user friendly because different users may care about different aspects of the item (item category, item condition, etc).
* Users have the option to upload a group of items together as a collection instead of listing out each item's details individually. This improves efficiency for those with large donations. 
* Forms are a familiar user input medium. 

Cons
* Submitting an item is tedious as there are many fields that must be filled out for each item. This would make uploading many items for donating a chore if they were done individually. 
* Items uploaded as a group lose many of the attributes that make search and filter so powerful.

RECEIVE PAGE

Pros
* Finding specific items is easy due to items having many attributes to filter on. 

Cons
* The submit or exchange option is not necessarily intuitive.

EXCHANGE PAGE

Pros
* Layout is intuitive -- half of the page is the items the user is offering and the other half is the items that the user is requesting. 

Cons
* Listing items for offer suffers from the same shortcomings as the GIVE page.
