next steps
I found that the Trip Types and Discover may be too closely related in their current form, which confuses the user. I may look into rewording Trip Types or removing it all together since Discover can do both needed jobs. I found that users liked the overall look and were pleased with the visuals of the site. They also liked the simplicity and were able to quickly navigate using the familiar patterns. This is good, but they also skipped important parts of the site, like the itinerary, dates and cost because they just clicked the first “Book it!” button that they came across. I may look into researching the slider filter for narrowing dates, since that was never discussed with this testing group. I will also consider building out another prototype focusing on a different flow of the Zeit travel website.
