The design team wanted to get feedback on the new designs to ensure any last-minute design updates that should be added given that the product was to launch soon. Given the time constraints, we were only able to get in touch with three
previous survey takers for an informal video chat. We were met with positive responses from the interviewees regarding not only the website redesign, but also support in the product launch!
Overall, the interviewees really liked the color scheme and described the visual layout as engaging and exciting. One participant noted that the buzzwords "hang out" helped differentiate Down from other meet-up applications, as it implied a more casual way of making connections.
However, the excess white space and lack of images were commented on as areas of improvement. Should we get time to go back to redesigning the website, these would be areas of prioritization.
