- User successfully and easily logged into dBabies from the login screen.
- When asked to add an event in the future or past the user always attempted to use the drag feature of the calendar.
- The user made the connection of the affordance of google/apple calendar.
- When asked to add an event in the present, the use of the sidebar was clear and the user simply clicked on one of the quick-add buttons.
- The user was not able figure out that one could add items from the add form. This is only a minor problem and can be fixed by providing helpful hints at the top during first use of the website when the user is not too familiar with it. Additionally, if a feature has not been accessed for a long time since log in, a feature popup can reveal the feature to the user and suggest it for future use.
- The user successfully added a new item to the shopping list but was confused when the two static items disappeared.
- Found it very easy to add a new sidebar quick add button.
- Found it very easy to remove an added button.
- When directed to add specific events, icons from the sidebar were clear with respect to the completed task.
- Found that dragging events in the scheduler was not so easy (may be an effect of the apple trackpad). This is a cosmetic problem only because it is not the case that this happens when using a regular mouse. Additionally, if the user is accustomed to mouse control of their own machine, this should not occur.
- Noted that when trying to add items to the shopping list from the add form, it was not clear that the toggle button would actually add the item. This is a major problem and it can be easily solved by either adding a checkbox or highlighting the toggle button a different color when pressed to indicate that item will be added to list when event is added. Alternatively, instead of a toggle, it could be a button that adds the item immediately giving the user immediate feedback.

Reflection
Over the course of the iterative design process we learned several things of what goes into a solid website design. What we found to be the most important is taking note of feedback and incorporating those comments into our design as much as possible.
