We should have researched more from the start how to deal with content effectively. We didn’t realize that rendering large amounts of content could be problematic. However, our site had issues we had with memory usage of images. This affected usability as users couldn’t upload many full sized images without slowing down page renders. Also an issue with displaying videos was a function of intrastructure limitations- <video> elements are not very reliable. Testing earlier the assumption that these would work smoothly would have led us to better planning around this obstacle.
All of these problems however, are great learning points for future projects. Having studied and gone through this comprehensive design process, we now have a better idea of how to get worthwhile prototypes to users at low cost, and iterate more effectively on the design. We also have much more defined ways to analyze UI design, which leads to better communication and easier logical decisions as a team.
