How hard is it to use Snipshot from ourdoings.com?

I'm looking for a little user testing in exchange for you getting to see how someone else did it.

I integrated Snipshot photo editing into ourdoings.com, but it needs to be explicitly turned on by the user. I want people to understand that Snipshot is a different site, and get a chance to review their privacy policy before they enable it.

Take a JPEG file. See how long it takes to register, log in, create a site within ourdoings.com, upload the photo, and figure out how to turn on Snipshot integration. Please let me know how it goes.



Start: 8:34pm End: 8:40pm (turn snipshot on) (True End: 8:44pm) (figure out how to actually use the snipshot feature. It took me a while to figure out where I could find the edit button.) Total time: 6(10) minutes.

I hope that data helps you. I noticed a few things while browsing around in there, one being that home image in the top-left corner brings me back to the home page... and shows me the log in just like a random visitor to the site. I would try and set it so that it remembers my session properly.


You're awesome. Thanks tons.

(I'm trying to keep the "front-facing" pages session-free to benefit shared caches, but that tab needs a different label than "Log In".


If that's the case, I would recommend changing the link in the top-left corner once you're logged in to take you somewhere other than the home page - maybe to my account or dashboard or something like that.


I added the Snipshot icon to both the "site integration" page and the "photo edit" page to make the snipshot link on the latter page easier to notice. I also made the top-left icon not be a link on the "back end" pages where your login applies.
