HOME PAGE

Pros
* Informative Simple navigation page that let's first time users know what the site is about. right off the bat what their options are. 

Cons
* Not very functional except for serving as a hub from which to navigate to other site pages.
* The Bootstrap layout is a bit overdone, but prettyUsers not familiar with the purpose of the site may not know what the appropriate action is


GIVE PAGE

Pros
*  The listings are very detailed. This makes searching and filtering based very user friendly because different users may care about different aspects of the item (item category, item condition, etc).
* Users have the option to upload a group of items together as a collection instead of listing out each item's details individually. This improves efficiency for those with large donations. 
* Forms are a familiar user input mediumRequires enough information so that items can be efficiently searched for.
* Forms and combo boxes are familiar input mediums that work well on mobile

Cons
* Submitting an item is tedious as there are many fields that must be filled out for each item. This would make uploading many items for donating a chore if they were done individually. 
* Items uploaded as a group lose many of the attributes that make search and filter so powerful.  If the device is being used on mobile, then typing can be  a chore. 
* Possibly too many fields, buttons, etc for a small mobile screen.
