A type-proto

The prototype looks pretty good right now.. For anybody who hasn't been linked, you can find stage 1 of the prototype here. The back end is located here.

Here are the comments that have been thrown around so far..

Tina noted:

-need a better font (maybe Helvetica or Arial)
-better design of "Better Letter" header
-coordination/incorporation of color
-text box for writing the letter is too small
-when ready to write message/upload content, it gets the user lost
-possibility of a text editor or way to upload a Word file
-the form layout is inconsistent
-on the View Letters screen: there should be a break after the
introductory paragraph
-validation code is confusing
-static back and forth buttons
-pop-up should be resizable


A few thoughts that I had:

-Use VoxPop instead of Better Letter from now on
-Put "back" button at top of window
-Maybe create a bunch of icons and let them sit near the top
-A small description of VoxPop on the splash screen
-New logos and buttons


Any others? I'm going to get cracking this weekend on redesigning the logo/icons/other buttons. When can we finally get a conference call with the programmers?
