It has been a week, and 25 new user registration, since the first introduction of Dripp.net. Initial response was satisfactory, considering multiple issues, bugs and defects.

First interesting case is User-Registration flow, which is designed to be very less restrictive, in order to have users start with their experience right away. The current existing flow is:

Users fill out the registration from and submit

Verification email is dispatched, and users can start declaring their first car

While waiting for email, users can complete their user profile and car profile

No other activities, such as: tracking, submission or uploads, is allowed for non-validated accounts.

It turns out almost 80% of registrants did not validate their accounts. According to a quick survey that I did, there are a few bugs and bad presentations that cause users not to validate their accounts.

Bugs: Users were allowed to post comments and track articles

Bad Design: Warning Bar is not big enough that users did not notice it

Bugs: Email format needs to be adjusted in order to show up in inbox, rather than junk mail folders

Solutions:
While fixing a few bugs, we will introduce a bigger warning bar, in order to respond every actions made by users. In addition, we’ll also introduce a smart bar, that will guide users of things need to be done, or required to do.

See you in the next review …
