Landing Page
  • I align more with version A because (1) it's clean and simple and therefore ensures users focus on just the search bar which is their primary reason for being there. (2) It is very similar in design layout (jakobā€™s law) to the most popular search engine (Google) so user can easily relate it to a search engine and therefore reduce the amount of thinking they need to get started
  • One thing Iā€™d add (if it isn't in the product roadmap already) is to include an Image and voice search option for accessibility and inclusivity.
  • Iā€™d also add commonly searched terms like ā€œBitcoin white paperā€ also to reduce thinking time.
Explore Page
  • I align more with version B because the white background gives it a cool look (doesn't make it overwhelming) and it has a very good contrast (accessibility).
  • I think for a good user experience, a filter chip should be added so users can easily navigate contents or search results they want to see.
  • Also, I think it will be nicer and easier for users to read if the contents of the cards are broken such that we have three cards arranged horizontally with each containing a header, short introduction of not more than two lines of text, category, date&time, duration and if possible an image as this as proven to help you communicate your message more effectively and quickly, as well as make your card more memorable and clickable.
  • I also think the ā€˜explore moreā€™ button should be more prominent.
Benefits
  • I align more with version B because the benefits are made to be more elaborate and therefore difficult to ignore. It's important users see them so that's a good choice.
  • Also the use of images communicates this benefits more and makes them easy to understand to the users.
  • For the hero section, personally for the sake of contrast, accessibility, playing it safe and doing less because less is more; Iā€™d stick to using the primary color for important elements like my buttons in the designs. ( this is only because orange is a difficult color to use in design)
  • Also, there is no call-to-action for users to carry out.
Footer
  • Footer looks simple and nice, although having two CTAs can be confusing for users so I will suggest having a section just before the footer where users can be encouraged to join the newsletter by providing their email and then in the footer section, users have the just ā€˜Give feedbackā€™ CTA. That way the footer is made even more clean and simple
Search Bar
  • The search bar looks cool. The addition of suggested keywords is a very good user experience as it makes it easy for users to get started without thinking much. Only thing to add if not in the roadmap already is the option to search by either image or voice for accessibility and inclusivity.
Search Page (Filter & No filter)
  • The search is very good to go. The only thing I might suggest to be added is for users to have the option to change the filter orientation from vertical to horizontal and then maybe also change the lay-outing of the cards.
Overall
  • Intuitive designs. I love the idea and the designs are superb. Although I would stick to using the primary colors for important elements of the designs. My favorite has to be the search page because itā€™s clean and simple and I understand how much work went into achieving that.
Hey thanks so much for the detailed feedback!
