Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Need some suggestions

Shoot Amie, I think what you have is pretty self explanatory. I’d stick with it. If someone doesn’t understand what a wizard is, they’ll probably be calling anyway, that is if they can figure out how to use a phone.

Speaker Wizard ?

So it seems as though about half of you figured we should stick with the original name. And does anyone think we should just highlight it a bit on the menu bar so new visitors see it?

Hey, now there's a good idea. Just put one of those touchably smooth blue boxes around it and it'll be irresistable.

I keep waiting for you to do it!

And he keeps waiting to get hired...

It's never polite to keep a lady waiting.



The button definitely calls attention to itself, but it looks a little of place. It also may not a good idea to use the same shape as a button here, since similar shapes are not buttons elsewhere. Don't want any UI confusion!

Now that I see it on the page like that, I guess I could see a newb getting a little confused by the name.

I realize this is not a discussion about the wizard itself but IMO it would be a lot more useful if one of the two following changes could be made :

1. After picking price range and being presented with a combination, have the ability to go back and change something without re-entering from scratch.

2. Don't bother asking about price and just present a range of options. Anyone I have talked to about the wizard offers a comment along the lines of "gee, I'm trying to figure out what I get for spending extra... if I knew how much I was going to spend I would have already bought 'em".

I've passed that input on to the *actual* wizard; thanks.

The button does totally stand out more like that - thanks Peter! We're making gradual changes to the wizard right now and thought that the name might be a good thing to change too. Right now we've enabled a feature where you can email the wizard results to yourself, and you can also email them to an audio expert. Tim is in Hong Kong right now on summer holidays (that's gotta be hot!!) but when he returns he'll be coming up with an HTML template for the email. We would also like to take it out of its existing pop-up and put it on its own pages - that would be a good time to enable a little running history at the bottom that shows you your answers and lets you change them.
