Consultation: Improving the browsing of RoadTests (and maybe RoadTest Reviews)

cstanton

Hello everyone,

I'm interested in improving how you can look through and browse RoadTests (and probably RoadTest Reviews).

You should all be familiar with the RoadTest group landing page:

And then if you want to browse RoadTests past and present:

And RoadTest Reviews past and present:

You may already be thinking "But  , this is fine!" and that's good feedback.

However you may be thinking "I put a lot of work into my RoadTest Review, I want it to be visible, for people to find it, for it to look nice!" and that's something I'm interested in as well.

Currently there're some challenges if you're looking for a RoadTest and its associated Reviews that I can see, as it's hard to:

- Find all the reviews by a particular manufacturer or supplier

- Find all of the reviews about a particular product, especially if the reviews aren't all posted at once

- See an 'aggregated' overall 5 star review that takes into account all reviews of the product/roadtest

What's useful to keep in mind when thinking about this is:

- If we're presenting new information, where will that come from?

- Can we reuse information that's already shown?

o Examples of this can be:

x Images of products from a RoadTest page

x Names of products/suppliers from a RoadTest page

x The description of the product from the RoadTest page

x Review stars from RoadTest Reviews

x Possibly images from RoadTest Reviews (if they're included)

x Links to RoadTests and RoadTest Reviews

It's also a bit easier for us if we can re-use 'widgets' or 'tools' that already exist on the site. An example might be if we consider the 'project videos' from element14 presents being a good way to show content:  Project Videos Might be adaptable as a way to search through RoadTests and Reviews?

But it's also important for us to know, how you use and browse this content, and how that experience is on a mobile device vs on a desktop device.

Note, what's out of scope for this request, are any changes to the current RoadTest or RoadTest Review layout of those content types themselves.

So, thoughts?

  • Roadtest is one of the very important and famous programs that Element 14 offers. That's why it is required that updates are available on the main page or visible often to the members so that they do not have to navigate to different windows just to see which reviews are posted and how many of them are posted. Let's say there were 5 kits offered then would like to see reviews of each one of them.Relaxed

    Also if the review is edited by adding useful stuffs, I would love to see those and hence have the update.
