    • Presentation:
      • Great guided tour of interface that addresses creating, assigning, updating and completing repair jobs.
    • Usability:
      • Excellent graphic design - great use of a consistent color scheme across the site to draw attention to important actions/labels.
      • Aggregation for any action (assignment, completion, labeling) is important for efficiency
      • Give more thought to how a house manager can manage jobs by location - maybe automatic building labeling or something - it is not obvious that they can search by location.
      • Selecting multiple filters might be useful (e.g. unassigned and plumbing at the same time)
      • Converting job updates to an activity feed (incl. job assignments, for example) might be useful
      • Consider interactions between address book and jobs - e.g. could mark in the activity feed that a contract has been arranged with a particular company.
      • Great answers to my questions about your design decisions (the 'unassign-then-assign' buttons, small font for contact info, etc.)
    • Completeness:
      • UI doesn't handle window resizing / smaller screens.
      • Great job on the back-end, saving any and all changes.
