Hi, Michelle. > as they struggle against what’s going on with picture on the left side
They won‘t struggle. Users just leave. Right now Fauxton UI is more self-explaining than guide for it. > I am still thinking about: should i redo the whole thing, or keep the design and just add a toggle for the above alternative view /*Putting on art-director hat*/ Ask designer, who is familiar with Fauxton, to make it better. Or – redo it by yourself. Layout definitely requires much, much more work: * increase text contrast * remove ALL unnecessary gaps, start screens, irrelevant giant images and so on (you do not sell or advertise, you give info – so give info, not space) * comfortable position for long texts is center, not right side * text width must no exceed 700-800 px, better 700 than 800 * put texts and images in a single column, zigzag reading is very annoying * most images can be trimmed from the bottom * since it‘s a guide, make navigation always visible * in Headers section most of screenshots can be combined in a single image * logically linked texts must not have n*100px gaps (like in Header bar section) * never make callouts, that are directed opposite to text (some of your callouts goes left, although text it at the right) Also it seems that Answers section at the end is completelly irrelevant. After reading guides most users have questions about the product itself, not about ‘How can I contribute’. Couch with Hi at the end is also completely irrelevant. Hi at the end? May be ‘Thank you for reading’? BR ermouth
