Current Site Analysis:
-
The page had no eye catching images.
-
The page in places had low color contrast ratio making it hard to read.
-
The video didn’t have closed caption.
-
There was very little information about the company itself and who and what they do.
-
The site looks out of date. I'm wondering if it is still a active company.
-
Site poorly explains its goals or who works with the students and what the focus is of the company.
Competitive Analysis
I viewed four sites Tutors on Wheels, Intelligentsia, rc Kids Academy, Time4Learning
these sites were easy to follow, clean graphics, good color use, who they are is well explained and what they do.
Empathy Interviews
During the discovery phase of this project I interviewed 10 parents to have a better understanding of what parents want from a tutoring company.
​
Interview Questions:
1) How old are you kid(s)?
2) Why do you need a tutor?
3) What is important for you regarding a tutor?
4) What is your ideal tutor?
5) How does your child learn best?
6) How are your kids grades?
