- 23. UT - PORTAL NAVIGATION BAR PORTAL NAVIGATION BAR The portal navigation bar was understood by some users as part of the navigation of G1. They clicked on the “Home” tab in order to access G1’s homepage and on the “Videos” tab when looking for a video inside G1. RECOMMENDATION Loose the “Home” tab (as below), since previous tests also showed that users understand that the Globo.com logo will take them to the the portal’s homepage. Visually detach the portal navigation from the websites’ content
- 24. STORY THEME IS NOT EASILY UNDERSTOOD The red area reserved for the story theme get mixes with G1 header and doesn ’t seem to be part of the story RECOMMENDATION Study the possibility of using a white background for the theme area, similar to the rest of the page UT - STORY PAGE
- 25. CONFUSION BETWEEN CONTENT BLOCKS Users struggled to understand the difference between “Related news”, “Read more” and “Everything about this theme” RECOMMENDATIONS Combine “Related news” and “Read more” in one information block; Use the name “Historic” instead of “Everything about this theme”. It was an expression commonly chosen by users that could describe this block correctly UT - STORY PAGE
