User-Testing Result

My NFP in Taiwan, The Rerum Novarum Centre has return me with user-feedback. This NFP provides services for local labourers as well as to provide educational and training programmes for trade unions. In 1986, the centre expanded its services to assist migrant workers. In 1995, they began to serve victims of job-related injuries, and indigenous workers.

1. Information wheel is a creative idea. However, the design is not very easy to spin which discouraged many of our workers to use it.

2. Some language can be even more simplified for easy understanding; the font can be larger.

3. Too many word at contact trap section, some workers don't understand what it is about unless they read through the whole template. NFP recommends me to write the text in a more straight-forward format, and just tell workers what to do.

4. Wage section is not complete. Required more information.

5. Injuries section is well written.

6. The color theme is very limited. NFP recommends me to apply a main color for each topic.

7. The NFP worried that the graphic might be too powerful for workers in China. However, their workers love the graphic, and that those graphic are very attractive to young workers.
