Launch Report
Until this morning, there are
total around 100 users attend our IQ test, and around 60 finished the test, and
for me I got 8 reflections. Analysis this 8 users reflections, here are mainly
there problems with my comments.
1.
Speed. Speed is the first problem that reflected from them; even some of
them use ADSL, but still slowly, so that made them waited for open the new
pages. For this problem, I already searched the hosting company, and we can
rent it, slow speed will reduce users interesting and waste their money, so we
have to make it fast.
2.
About the introduction page. One user told me the introduction page is
not interesting, feel some boring. She thinks we can make it more interesting
and better we make it in flash. I think the introduction page is very
important, since everybody come to our website, he will see the introduction
page first, if he feels boring, even he is interesting, maybe he will also
leave it; and if we make it more interesting, even he is not interested, maybe
he will try our test. So I agree this suggestion. Because Chinese market is a
different market. If the website design with more flash, and many colors, we
feel happy of that, and we think the website is nice and professional. So our
introduction is a bit simple, so maybe we can do some change there?
3.
About the questions pages. Two users complain about the different
answers. And I report them to Rose already. And most of them complain about the
questions are easy and many questions are similar. They think it is easy
because most our questions are about math, because in China we see space and
logic also as math, and most Chinese are good in math. That is why. About the
similar questions, they think the questions like compare the different
pictures, we have many that kind of questions, when they did the first one, it
is interesting, and when they met more, they will feel boring.
4.
About the personal report page. Since one user told me some error
inside, so I checked this week, and I send them to Suzanne already.
5.
Improve method. One users mention that he really want to know how to
improve himself more than only know himself better. He like the test, but he
want to know how to improve his knowledge and other method after the test.
OTHER THINGS
1. Attend weekly meeting.
We discussed all the news, and sales information. And I was the one discussed
