The TechWizard home page is very simple. As it turns out, simplicity is key, something we learned from heuristics and validated in user testing. We were pleased when some of our test users commented on how refreshing the simplicity of the layout was. At one point, there used to be a search bar at the bottom of the page, but it was removed because it was impractical. The text size on the buttons changed in response to feedback received during studio.

Listing
The tutorial listing page has changed little since it's beginning. When doing paper prototyping, it was the clear winner over the alternative of simply displaying everything at once.

One of the things that we did was eliminate the indentation on the tutorial buttons that was used to have after receiving several comments about it.
Tutorial
Easily the most complicated page, the tutorial page changed the most. Even after both rounds of paper prototyping, we realized we still weren't sure what it should look like. Still, the slide system had a lot of fans and our user testers really liked them as well. This takes advantage of chunking for a population that needs to absorb new things in small doses. The prereqs/related jumped from the top to the sidebar, because it seemed most people expected (read: consistency) them to appear there.
