Seeking testers for our new Kantara website
Hello We have been working hard for the last few months on designing and building a new website for Kantara Initiative. The goal is to make it much easier for visitors to find information about our organization and sign up for our various services. We have created a new navigation structure and simplified page content. I believe the look and feel is much cleaner, less text heavy and generally more modern and in keeping with an organization that leads in our sector. It is now time to ask for your feedback! Please could I ask you to take some time over the coming week (our deadline is Friday 17th May) to test the new site? Please try and complete a number of tasks e.g. * sign up for membership * download an Assessor application form * download the charter and/or documents pertaining to a Work Group * highlight any British English on US pages - I am sure there will still be many examples that have crept through! I would highlight a few caveats: * The actual forms for signup are NOT active as these link to the live membership/WG database. Armin will switch these over when he moves the site off the staging server and into the live environment * We are gradually working through all the old News items to ensure consistency; not all headline/images line up properly yet HOW TO LOG ON URL: https://staging.kantarainitiative.org Username: kantaraboard Password: phvjfKgBVuBpp DETAILS FOR PROVIDING FEEDBACK Please use this spreadsheet on our shared Google Drive for recording your feedback. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hVr3YaLsXYj6LVBaLDew9i-95cUSvZ9h/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=115821371201819572241&rtpof=true&sd=true Deadline 17th May 2024 If you have any questions, please email me or post a direct message on our MatterMost channel.

Good afternoon all Can I just nudge you to take a look at the new website before tomorrow so I can make any amends or look at your suggestions. THANK YOU to those of you who have already fed back - you know who you are!!! 🙂 It's so helpful to have extra eyes on everything!

I don’t have access to the spreadsheet so pasting some comments here. You might want to put some more call to action on these screens (my marketing people yell at me for too few CTAs in my emails and such 😄) [cid:0db4f633-609b-46ed-a47a-6041d750bfd5] You have a lot of dead space “above the fold” - some graphic elements that highlight what we want to educate them on might be good. I didn’t see your note about the forms not working til now so ignore that (but - the links don’t work either, that may be intended too). I’m on a united Wi-Fi so maybe that’s part of the issue. [cid:81b3214f-382f-4f6b-805b-3fc28fab3eab] Download worked well on ipad. Only UK English I see so far is on the link meant for UK.
